Delicious Pinot that paired very well with smoked chicken thighs on the patio last evening. Lots of crunchy dark fruits and berries with a tangerine peal note and a bit of tea. A nice representation of the northern Willamette Valley.

Elegant Pinot with a darker fruit profile and good balance. Nice wine, that lacks a bit in the complexity and finish areas, but is quite tasty nonetheless.
