Light straw color in the
glass. Delicate aromas of lemon curd and pastry cream. Demure flavors of citrus, peach, green apple and a

2008 Lange Estate Freedom Hill Vineyard Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 250 cases, $60.
·
Moderately dark reddish-purple
color in the glass. Welcoming aromas of black plums, dark cherries,
cassis, forest floor and damp earth. Soil-inflected core of intensely
flavored black plum fruit that is beginning to shed its baby fat. Since last
tasted in 2010, the tannins have become softer, the oak has faded into
the background, and the wine is exhibiting an amazingly long finish with a
pleasingly bright cut of acidity. The wine has the balance for long-term aging.
Put on your big boy pants when you open this one.

2003 Stevenson-Barrie Freedom Hill Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., $28.
·
This Pinot Noir has a wonderfully expressive nose featuring savory herbs, barnyard and cut flowers. Noticeably more elegant than many of the 2003's from Oregon. Both red and black dark fruits are beautifully composed in a nicely balanced package. Serious juice and a must buy.
