REDS

Le Petit Pinot Noir Columbia Gorge 2006
Think of this as a Baby Sineann: Peter Rosback made this light and pretty Pinot for Vineyard
owner Bob Morus. It's an Oregon Beaujolais, from young vines and using no new oak.
Impeccably fresh and just 13% alcohol, it tastes of clean, bright strawberry and cherry fruit. --
