Grapefruit flavors have dominated previous bottles of this wine and detracted from my enjoyment. Not so with this bottle. The cranberry and rhubarb flavors that I love in cool vintages of Eola-Amity wines were more apparent and the grapefruit flavor was more subtle. This wine is definitely on the tart end of the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir spectrum, and this bottle was a good expression of it.
