It stood the test of time if I could do it all over again I would but with much much more this wine aged so well it was an elegant pinot wish I had another bottle or two

A go-to brand for me for sentimental reasons - this vintage was nicely done - more powerful and concentrated than your typical Oregon pinot although brighter and more acidic that a Cali effort - ripe black cherry flavors and aromas of the forest, with berry accents.

Medium bodied but light on its feet, darker color and a nose full of strawberries. Very, very solid wine from an awesome vintage in the Willamette. Would buy again and lay down for a few more years!

Bright, flavorful, light bodied Pinot. Perfect time for drinking. Don't wait any longer.

An interesting multi-layered wine. Would say balanced, but over the whole sip. Nose of blackberry and other dark fruit and an expectation of high alcohol (but no alcohol burn during the taste). Taste starts out dry and grapey, but immediately turns to bolder dark fruit as some acidity and astringency hit. This fades fast to a hint of residual sweetness and a cherry finish that lingers. So far, one of my favorite PNs, especially at $20.

Curious sort of translucent ruby-purple color. Medium bodied. Red berries and cola; sweet rather than savory. Long finish, with some tannins still working. I like this, especially for what it portends for the Riservata and the Justina.

Always been a big fan of Alloro and buy it in most vintages, but I have to say that I might like it better in more burgundian, cooler vintages - this bottle had a lot of baby fat on it and could use more time - a bit astringent and concentrated while the fruit was potent but not particularly interesting.

Delicious, "old school" Oregon Pinot Noir aroma, austere but full bodied and very, very good

Again the odd color, cranberry we decided. Seems to have more body than earlier bottles. And the nose is now a lovely riot of black cherry, cough syrup, dirt, and underbrush. And the black cherries carry over to the palate, which is a bit on the acidic side. Medium finish. Sad to see my last bottle go.

Slightly odd color, but consistent. Luscious fruit in the mouth, a surprise after modest nose. Light body was perfect offset to grilled salmon and sunny afternoon on the terrace.
