The Quest Cellars 2008 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is a blend of 3 vineyards aged for 11 months in 28% new oak. Ruby red in color, it reveals an attractive nose of cedar, rose petal, cinnamon, strawberry, and cherry. Round and forward on the palate with a sense of elegance, it has plenty of spicy fruit, some structure, and lively acidity. Drink this nicely balanced offering over the next 5-7 years. www.questcellars.com
