The 2007 Pinot Noir Volcanic is a blend of 4 vineyards, It offers up some aromatic complexity with notes of smoke, Asian spices, mineral, black cherry, and plum. Still a bit tight on the palate but with plenty of savory fruit for balance, this concentrated Pinot will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and offer prime drinking from 2011 to 2019. Veteran vigneron Patricia (Patty) Green was the original winemaker at Torii Mor before purchasing the old Autumn Wind Winery in 2000 along with partner Jim Anderson and renaming it Patricia Green Cellars. Current production stands at 10,000 cases with distribution in 20 states. All of the Patricia Green wines are fermented naturally, see about one-third new oak, and only Cadus barrels are used in the cellar. The wines are discussed in the order in which they were presented at the winery in July, 2009.Tel. (503) 554-0821; www.patriciagreencellars.com
