    Raptor Ridge 2004 Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

    There's plenty of toast for the new-oakies, but it's wrapped around lovely raspberry and plum fruit. Light notes of mint and leather add interest; the wine resonates nicely and gently fades rather than falling off a cliff. Not as massively ripe as the 2003, but equally fine.
