he 2006 Pinot Noir “Maple Ranch” is a bit more deeply colored and has more to offer aromatically. This unfiltered wine has plenty of toasty strawberry and raspberry aromas with a hint of rose petal in the background. It possesses a solid core of sweet fruit with enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years and should provide pleasure through 2015. www.foriswine.com

Foris’ 2006 Pinot Noir Rogue Valley is medium ruby-colored with an expressive perfume of roses and raspberries. Forward, tasty, and uncomplicated, this nicely priced Pinot Noir has real varietal character and should drink well for another 3-4 years. There are over 11,000 cases so availability should be good.
