Yes, it's Volnay. Light of touch, ethereal with lingering strawberry/cherry fruit. Consumed al fresco and paired with a light sockeye salmon dish. Life can be so difficult...... — 12 years ago
Very nice, not too dry. Oaky flavor, good with sockeye salmon and mushroom risotto. — 12 years ago
Great with sockeye salmon. — 14 years ago
Cherry red garnet color. Beautiful aromas of cherry pie, strawberry, rhubarb, vanilla cinnamon, and sandal wood.
The palate follows the nose to some extent but is predominantly cherry and spice. The tannins are light and smooth but quite prevalent. The fruit is not as forward as it once was. I am left wanting more. It is still a very nice wine but I am sure it was better two to three years ago. I love Dehlinger Pinots but wish I would have opened this a few years ago with sockeye or Thanksgiving dinner to enjoy it at its peak. — 11 years ago
Sweet and light. But not overtly so as with Moscatoes. — 12 years ago
Clear, bright, ruby, medium concentration, rose colored rim, no gas or sediment with medium viscosity.
No aroma flaws, medium intensity, youthful, strawberry and vanilla. Bone dry, medium body, strawberries and raspberries with light oak vanillans. Earthy, wet earth. Medium soft tannins with medium alcohol and acidity. Medium finish.
Paired well with grilled sockeye salmon and grilled onions, zucchini, peppers and mushrooms (bridge ingredient) — 12 years ago

I adore the uber-earthy 2005 vintage of Oregon Pinot. This one delivers, mellow and smooth; perfect with grilled sockeye salmon. — 11 years ago
