A medium dark garnet red in the glass, the Harmonia 2007 Oregon Pinot Noir (13.5%) delivered muted strawberry and blueberry notes at first followed by a predominant earthy funk. This was a creamy pinot noir with balanced acidity and lasting cherry finish.

We paired the Harmonia with a wild King salmon grilled to medium rare and then placed on a bed of stir-fried yakisoba noodles. A coconut milk, red curry paste, brown sugar sauce was drizzled over the salmon, completing this amazing dish.

This was an interesting Oregon pinot noir for $20, but even still I would pass on another bottle. The color and creaminess just didn't appeal to me. I understand it's the last vintage, as the winemaker, Michael Beckley, is becoming a full-time musician.
