Two Pinot’s with turkey & stuffing. This one was selected for its round evolution, nice array of dark & light fruits as well for its elegance. Handled Hedy’s dark Turkey meat and excellent stuffing.
The Phelps Pinot’s are good young but, get so much better with 7-10 years plus in bottle.

With each vintage, their Pinot’s get better & better.
On the nose, liqueured cherries, black cherries, strawberries, dry cranberries, touch of baked rhubarb, dark rich soils, limestone minerals, red licorice/cola, steep fruit tea. Dry brush, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, Provence herbs, warm toast, fresh red & dark florals with violets.
The body is medium, rich & lush. Liqueured cherries, black cherries, strawberries, dry cranberries, pomegranate, touch of baked rhubarb, blueberries, dark rich soils, limestone minerals, red licorice/cola, steep fruit tea. Dry brush, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, Provence herbs, warm toast, fresh red & dark florals with violets. Even though this wine was stored well, it wasn’t stored in my best storage. It might be two years ahead of schedule. However, the structure, tension, length and balance are about two years from its peak. The acidity is round and like a gentle rain shower. The long finish is well balanced, elegant, lush, rich and lasts minutes.
Photos of, the Estate vines as viewed from their patio, the old oak vats inside their tasting room that were once used for winemaking, event tasting room, and their tasting patio.

Darker on style. Dark cherries, cherries, super ripe juicy strawberries, red licorice, cherry cola, light fine chalkiness and beautiful volcanic minerals. Good but should be even better with 3-5 more years in bottle.

Nice dark cherries, dark & light raspberries, stewed strawberries, big chalk, gritty lighter minerality and good lean fruit finish. This will be really good in another 3-5 years.

For a California Pinot to an Oregonian, this is a darn nice Pinot. It is BIG, full of fruit and oak, definitely pulls dark cherry, tobacco, vanilla, plum and hints of violet and rose.
