The 2006 Pinot Noir Anderson Family Vineyard delivers a smoky bouquet with plenty of black cherry and plum notes. Ripe, round, and friendly on the palate, it is in need of a bit more depth and concentration.Boedecker Cellars is the winery of husband/wife team Athena Pappas and Stewart Boedecker. The wines are all produced from contracted fruit and bottled in Stelvin screw caps in their new winery in an industrial section of Portland. Many of their wines are held back for an additional year of bottle aging.Tel. (503) 288-7752; www.boedeckercellars.com

This wine moves quickly past its tight red currant fruit into flavors of red licorice, hints of caramel and a rather light, almost airy finish. Crisp and well-made, but a bit ambiguous.——P.G.(7/1/2009)—— 88
