2006 August Cellars Hawks View Vineyard Pinot Noir

Estate: August Cellars
Region: Chehalem Mountains, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States of America
Vineyard: Hawks View Vineyard


Tasting Note:January 21, 2016

Gave this bottle a two hour decant before trying. Wine was garnet red and very close to brick red especially around the edges. Very floral and full of lilacs. A little bit of raspberries and metal near the end. Moderate tannins (5/10) and light refreshing body coated with some solid acidity. Moderate finish that is slightly metallic and tangy. Light red berries. Very smooth and fresh. Just what we expected a well made Oregon Pinot Noir to be like. Could improve past 90 if the metal wears off.
