Forefront by Pine Ridge - Willamette Valley - Pinot Noir - 2008 - (Classic, Food Wine, Best Buy) - $24 - A bright clear ruby with tinges of purple at the rim. A nose of pure red fruits and Earth: Raspberries, red currants and pomegranite with turned earth, musk and nearly animale scents. Very floral. The entry is full of moderate+ acidity, and confirmed red fruit mix as well as the earthy notes and florals. Oak is of moderate expression but showing a touch of spice. Alcohol was moderate, tannins were fine and well structured, body was moderate and finish was quite long. A balanced style which lets fruit shine while keeping the sense of place totally in Oregon. Great Food Style.
