Argyle, Pinot Noir "Nuthouse" Willamette Valley 2004

Light red.

Bright red fruit (cran/raspberry/cherry) and herb/underbrush nose. A bit slutty/sumptuous too.

Really round and seamless, yet has nice framing acidity. Nice depth of fruit/spice, with no tannin to get in the way of the very long/extremely tasty finish. The slutty/sumptuous thing, fortunately, repeats in the mouth.

Screwcap - which is interesting. When I opened and tasted this an hour ago, there was nothing interesting going on.

PFG now.

Day 3 - Fresh sage on the nose now (memory thanks to Canela's porch 2 days ago). Not quite as bright in the mouth, but even longer on the finish. Seems to be filtered, so I'd drink this over the near term, for pure fruit/herb pleasure.
