title: Firesteed 1998 Pinot Noir (Oregon)
description: Some rosés are darker in color than this flyweight. But the bouquet and palate each pack some punch. Orange-rind and cranberry scents pave the way for the chocolate and black-plum flavors that blanket the thick palate. At the end, though, it lacks the sleekness mandatory for a very good Pinot Noir.
variety: Pinot Noir
