Formerly known as Rion Reserve, the 2002 Pinot Noir Reserve is produced entirely from Ridgecrest Vineyards fruit. Medium to dark ruby-colored and sporting a nose of gorgeously sweet red cherries, this medium to full-bodied wine is rich, precise, bold, and elegant. Loads of red cherries, blackberries, kirsch, and notes of blueberries can be found in its well-defined personality. Concentrated and exceptionally well-balanced, this wine also appears to be holding a great deal in reserve. Projected maturity: now-2014. Bravo!Tel. (503) 538-4700 www.chehalemwines.com
