Silvan Ridge Winery 2011 Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, $35

Perfumy oak creates a sexy mood of strawberry/rhubarb jam, cherry candy, Cinnamon Bear candy and black truffle. The structure is lithe with Bing cherry and ripe raspberry flavors, followed by pomegranate acidity and elderberry skin tannins, and capped by a dusting of cocoa powder. Enjoy with Duck Confit or alder-planked salmon.
