Maison Roy Fils, Incline Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley

Bold fruit up front with rich dark color. Dissipates a little too quickly leaving only a faint memory of what was a delicious wine at first sip.

This was really bad

2019 vintage

Un vin qui m’a surpris. Il a vieilli en beauté. Il est plus fin que dans sa jeunesse. Le fruit est encore très agréable et offre encore une certaine fraîcheur. Les tannins sont biens intégrés. L’ensemble est excellent mais je continue à penser que c’est un peut dispendieux.

What a great wine I had in my cellar for approx. 5 years that I was saving to have with Raymond, Patrice & John. When opened big volume fruit notes were easily detected out of the bottle & glass even before it got to my nose. On the palate this was a very low bodied wine with a hint of sweetness and very little tannins. Not overly complex, very subtle, incredible smooth finish overall this was a winner that is …

Loved this bottle. Had with a lovely fish and pasta dinner. Got a lot of Green apple, citrusy notes with some honey Mellon. Had a silkiness to it but not creamy. Enjoyed the saltiness and acidity as well, but it was well balanced against the other elements.

Mainly Oregon (Noizé) : Single blind. Mid cherry. More savoury on the nose. Cherry fruit with a slightly bitter edge. Herbal perhaps. This really comes through on the finish. Not quite sure, one to reconsider with food. Still quite dark and dense. Needs time. Bare *(**)

2014 vintage

Fairly deep red center, red rim with a little pink and some age. Sweetish, wood polish, ripe cherries, cherry brandy. Smooth, mature pinot flavors, cherries and black raspberries, earthy undergrowth, moderate acidity and tannin, followed by some cigarette ash and oak, alcohol is well integrated, nice finish. Has matured well, drinking well now but backbone for another 3+ years.

2014 vintage

A bit natty. A bit barnyard. Decent though

2014 vintage

A couple more years has added some maturity that improves the experience.

2014 vintage

Robust. Still with a lot of acid and depth. Should last a few more years.

2018 vintage

Initially it’s all rich dark fruit notes and high alcohol. Decant it for an hour or so and it evolves into a lush, complex wine with lots of pinot funk and a long finish. Primary fruit is starting to fade, but this is still quite delicious. Down to one bottle; wish I had more.

Generally prefer Central Coast Pinots but this is probably one of my top three Oregon Pinots. Was a little hot right out of bottle but settled nicely with about 20 minutes of being open

2014 vintage

Beautiful pinot noit with sweet, elegant red fruit and soft floral notes. Love the nose on this. The palate has good density and holds firm on a persistent finish. Sad to say this was my only bottle as it seemed youthful and may have had a little room to grow.

2014 vintage

Bitter, thin, did not age well.

2014 vintage

Savory red fruits with good balance and a nice finish. Drinking well now, but can hold for up to another year or so.

2014 vintage

Red fruit (cherry, raspberry), nice spice/ cola, refined, minerality, slight herb, good smoke, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

2014 vintage

Franchement excellent, des fruits, de la poigne, de la complexité, wow. Prête à boire maintenant mais il a encore de la marge.

2014 vintage

Deep red center, red rim with some signs of age. Sweet, briar and cola, very grapey, refined a little smokey, raspberry and something a little darker. After breathing I get some barnyard, but it is very well integrated and adds to the experience. Smooth, milk chocolate, some acidity and tannin, dried rosemary, raspberries and crunchy underripe strawberries, smokey, a little green on the finish, good length. After some more air, darker fruit flavors - blackberries and black plums. Very good …

Still young

2018 vintage

Checking in on this one from our cellar. Acid structure is still maturing but elegant. Fruit is big and bright. Medium tannins. Forest floor, cedar, pepper and blackberry.

2014 vintage

Cherry purée, barnyard and leather with slight citrus and watermelon rind to the nose. Watermelon seed will show more with air. Slight varnish? Complex nose for a young vines, but showing more barnyard. Silky with red currant and cherry with nice tannins. Tasted at tasting room. Tasted on 29jul3018

2014 vintage

Juicy and perfumed. Long and luscious. Light tannins and a sharp raspberry finish. Complex and ever improving in the glass.

2014 vintage

Était ouvert et en carafe à la Succ pour près de 4 heures! Moderne et assez facile, charmeur mais unidimensionnel...à plus de 90$, on frise le ridicule ici!

2014 vintage

L'Oregon de Chez Nous - Les Cavistes, Comes from two separate vineyards. Good acidity, strawberries, cranberries. From young vines, give it a couple of years and the future vintages are ones to watch!

2014 vintage

A&B Oregon tasting (Coopers' Hall, Devonshire Square) : Tasting sample. Similar to the 13, and served equally cool. Slightly darker fruit. Quite long. A little more serious possibly, but not quite the joie de vivre. 4-

2014 vintage

Oodles of forest ripened purple and blue berries, with wafting herbaceous notes. There is a 'sweetness' to the wine that may result from its ultra-ripeness, or may be RS. A crowd pleaser par excellence. Drink by 2020.

2014 vintage

Fruit forward, progressive and refined - a great expression of the vintage.
