2006 Westry Oracle Vineyard Pinot Noir

So tonight we have a very special event. Jim, Jamie and myself are all together working very hard to taste wines for BONDA.

While Jamie and Jim work on grilling BBQ chicken, I am making a risotto of Bartlett Farms cherry tomatoes, and arugula. First up, this Dundee Hills Pinot from Westry.

Dirty socks on the nose at first, opening to a field after a rain filled with red berries. Leather, cedar and a touch of spice finish out the profile. On the tongue, a bit tannic and acidic. Firm earth, good structure. A little young though.

Jamie thinks we should go back to it after awhile.
