Sweet Cheeks Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, 2008 750 ml

Vintage. The vineyards were christened Sweet Cheeks because of the curious swell of the hillside that became evident as the soil was plowed and then planted with grapes. The nickname stuck and has been a tongue in cheek favorite ever since. Following in the tradition of great Oregon Pinot Noirs, our 2008 Pinot Noir is full-bodied and rich, with substantial flavor despite its delicacy. With aromas of dark rich cherries and vanilla the most appealing quality of our Pinot Noir may be its soft, velvety texture that gently caresses the palate and leaves a long memorable finish. 12% alc by volume.
