Much improved from bottle I tasted ~ 1 year ago. Didn't note color. On nose, tart cherry, forest floor, strawberry and baking spice. Medium body, medium+ acidity, medium(-) tannins and very long finish. 93+/-

Didn't take notes. Really did not enjoy this one to be honest. A well made wine so this is a personal preference. 90+/- Not a re-buy for me.

Tasted blind at Kee's Nose: immediately brings to mind Bordeaux Colour: dark rich ruby Palate: pure Cabernet notes. Big and young, tannic Turns out to be a pinot noir! Quite a unique style - all of us agreed this is not typical pinot notes. Not sure how I feel about this bottle

Heavy on earth/loam notes which seemed out of balance with the dried pinot fruit notes.

Light color and body, pleasing to nose and palate. No rush but I'd drink these sooner than later.

The wine looks brick colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor, mineral and cherry. It tastes like cherry and forest floor. The body is light/medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity.

A beautiful wine. Cherries, rose petals, a little cedar on nose. Smooth tannin and balanced fruit. Delicious with seared duck breast, roasted root vegetables and quinoa.

What a wonderful Pinot Noir; one that does not break the bank. Pnp through the Venturi. It pours to a ruby purple color. Vibrant notes of cherries, dried rose petals, some spice, and wood chips. Medium+ acidity, medium body, and the silky tannins help coat the mouth wonderfully and lead to a long finish. Perky acidity, generous fruit, restrained tannins, and refined wood action all combine to lend this wine deliciousness and vivacity on the palate. The wine also has …

We opened the bottle and sat open for almost an hour. Smell of watermelon and strawberry. Took a while to open up, as we were not impressed right away. After swirling for a half hour it just got better and better. Give this one a decant for at least an hour. Acidic. Fruit with some warmth.

Bold, peppery. I believe the Pinot Noir from the Williamette Valley are the best you can buy and this one is one of the best I've drank.

Lots of nice fruit. Some earthiness. Moderate acid. Enjoyed it with seared Scottish salmon with a creamy sun dried tomato sauce. It had enough acid to deal with the creamy sauce and the very fatty but tasty Scottish salmon. If you like Oregon style PN, you'll like this.
