Wow! Right away your mouth is pounded with gorgeous blackberry fruit—it’s like gulping down a fresh-picked bucket of berries. There is a lovely softness here, but plenty of acidity and depth as well. Though the tech sheet lists two thirds new oak barrels, the fruit is so fresh and full and luscious that they fade into the background, leaving just a ghostly trail of…

Concentrated cassis, raspberry liqueur, vanilla, espresso and dark chocolate flavors give this wine its potent power. Deep and long, supremely seductive, it has penetrating flavors that are not at all over the top in terms of ripeness or alcohol. Drink now, or give it another half decade in the cellar.

The lovely, lush aromas on the nose include red fruit, cocoa and caramel, with a splash of nectarine as well. The wild cherry core carries extra complexity, and the moderate alcohol keeps the wine elegant through its finish.

Delicious is the first word that pops into your head when you taste this wine. It’s got the sort of sweet fruit that you find in Russian River Pinots, yet retains the definition and refinement, along with a slight herbal nuance, that speaks of the Willamette Valley. Long in the mouth and tangy with a mix of spice and fruit sweetness in the finish.

Aubichon Cellars 2007 Reserve Pinot Noir
- $42
Aubichon’s reserve Pinot Noir is given a little more exposure to new oak than the regular bottling, and is otherwise quite similar. The same exotic floral aromas lead into a more intensely flavored version of the regular wine. Astringent and tart, the wine weaves in lemon verbena and citrusy spice.

Aubichon Cellars 2009 Pinot Noir
- $36
Clearly an Oregon style, with definitive herbal highlights around ripe, almost sweet strawberry fruit. The midpalate has grip and weight, and flavors linger as the evolve into suggestions of strawberry preserves. Finishes with a kiss of chocolate.

Aubichon Cellars 2007 Pinot Noir
- $34
This is the first vintage for Aubichon, a project launched by Tom Mortimer and Jim Sanders. Cherry tobacco scents mix with forest floor and fungus, unusually floral as well. The flavors have a perfumey quality, light and soft and very pretty.

Aubichon Cellars 2010 Pinot Noir
- $35
Aubichon’s Willamette Valley bottling enters softly with a mix of rhubarb and cherry, with tart lemony acids. It’s approachable and nicely styled, ready to drink immediately, with enough acidity to pair with rich sauces. Just a hint of chocolate winds through the finish.
