Wonderful balance of fruit, soft tannin, good body and medium finish. Excellent pinot.

Nice minerals, flowers, and red fruit on nose. Tart strawberries and bitter cranberries on palate, high acidity. A bit flat with a earthy finish. Expected more from this top OR producer.

Jammy for a Pinot, acid is low so comes across as softly fruitilicious. Nice if you like this sort of thing but if you are looking for lean, tart Pinot this is not it. Still, its well built, and has decent complexity and a smooth finish, oak is just right.

Nicely balanced with good acidity and smooth tannins, light fruit and body. Based on my original tasting 4 years ago I think this is probably at the peak drinking window, and should be consumed by 2014 or 2015.
