title: Chehalem 2009 Reserve Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
description: This is a forward, even plush Reserve, loaded with generous black fruits and streaked with anise and cola notes. At first, the wine seemed to fade a bit too quickly, robbing the finish of expected complexity. But retasted on the second day, the wine had fleshed out beautifully.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Reserve
