  • 2006 Elk Cove Vineyards Pinot Noir Mt. Richmond - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley (6/5/2010)
    Decanted about an hour. Young magenta color. Open knit nose of fresh cherries and strawberries. Sweet red and black fruit flavors are rich and fat. Not much depth or structure here but a real crowd pleaser right now. The sweet fruit flavors linger nicely into the finish. 88 points. Drink now - 2012. (88 pts.)

Sounds like most 2006 OR pinots I can remember. Maybe my least favorite vintage in the last 5 or 6. Highly overrated by critics.
