The 2006 Pinot Noir Leland is sourced from a self-rooted vineyard planted in 1983 relatively old-vine by Oregon standards. Light to medium ruby in color it has a very expressive bouquet and a tighter racier style than its siblings. Silky-textured the sweet fruit is surprisingly deep and concentrated. Although it may evolve for a year or two its pleasures are all there for the taking right now. -Jay Miller
