The 2008 Pinot Noir Aurora Vineyard is from a 20-year-old parcel planted to Dijon clone 777. Dark ruby red with a brighter fruit profile and a racy personality, this is an especially spicy effort with dense fruit, a velvety texture, and excellent concentration. Well-balanced and tasty, it has the potential to evolve for several years but can be approached now. Tel. (503) 628-1227; www.ponziwines.com
