ron lachini with Appellation

Lachini is a small winery in Oregon...in the Chehalem hills between Portland and Salem'

07 Pinot Gris Family Estate lemon curd and citrus...creamy mouthfeel..not the bone dry alsace type but not the fruit bomb either..nice

06 Lachini Estate Pinot Noir earthy, mushroom and rich.. garnet color in glass, dark berry fruit on the palate...

07 Lachini "S" Pinot Noir light cola aromas, light color, red fruits? on the palate with good acidity to the finish.

06 Cuvee Giselle Pinot Noir dark garnet and again the cola nose, cinnamon? and a touch sweet with long fruit finish.

06 La Bestia Cabernet from Red Mountain in Washington... heavy duty fruit and not a lot of finese...

06 "il molinello" bordeaux style Red Mountain.. mostly cab and merlot, with a lot of the merlot influencing the wine...molinello means swirl, to blend, dense thick fruit and a nice finish...the better of the two washington wines.
