  Excellent PN. IMO this is on the downslope as fruit has faded vs prior bottles. Nose of red fruit. Rasberries, strawberries and subtle spice on the palate. Med+ body and finish. Tannins fully resolved.

  Bandon Dunes PTI: 2012 Oregon Pinots; 2/14/2022-2/15/2022 (Bandon Dunes Resort): VA! While I was sharing the issue with my half of the 12 person table, here comes Bob S, "Smell this!"
  
  "I know Bob, it's called VA. You don't like nail polish in your wine??"
  
  Thanks goodness we had one more bottle on the table to enjoy from a nearby winery (WillaKenzie).

  Notes of raisin, low tannins, would be great with a good steak

  Beautiful wine, drinking well now, or put away for a few years. Dark fruits. Very well balanced. Rich, soft tannins, but adequate acidity. Nicely done.

  What a BIG Winderlea Pinot. Bill, Donna, and Robert generally make high acid, classic great food wine. This was much bigger and very liked. It had a definite blamably blackberry character with baking spices. The body was velvet: great tannins and med-full mouthfeel. The finish was long, clipped, and then continued which was very unusual and lovely (the gift that kept on giving). I wish that i had more. Drink now or hold for 5 more years.
