87 POINTS ~ 2004 Lachini Vineyards Pinot Noir S Willamette Valley
May/June 2006Ruby-red. Smoky, ripe bouquet of cherry skin, ripe plum, graphite and violet. Sappy, almost sticky in texture, the dark fruit notes showing a warm quality that builds through the finish. A big-boned, dense pinot that will stand up to assertive dishes. ($40)
