2006 Ponzi Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Slightly candied on the nose and palate. Tasted alongside a 2006 Seghesio Russian River Pinot, which highlighted ripeness and lighter character of this wine. By no means a slacker, there is a lot to desire here. The color is light like cranberry and magenta. The nose is more floral than fruity. Medium to light bodied. Just a slight amount of candied cherry. Some Asian spiciness. Balanced acidity, tanin and alcohol. Soft finish.

Scored to price. This is nice, but maybe not 30 dollars nice. Cheeries and loam. Good juice. @ $20 I'd probably score it a low-90s, but for 30 it's a little (not a lot, just a little) ho-hum. Pairs well with quite a few dishes, though none as well as gardening - the soil on my hands really brought out the depth in the last glass.
