2005 Firesteed Pinot Noir Oregon (750ml)

"87 out of 100 - Medium red. Ripe cherry and dark berry aromas, with a hint of dark chocolate. Supple in texture and subtly warm, with dark fruit flavors supported by gentle acidity. Finishes with persistent cherry and plum liqueur notes, plus a hint of succulent herbs. This is an outstanding value in pinot noir from Oregon (or anywhere). - Josh Raynolds, vinous.com
