Really nice honey, yellow and white flowers on the nose with a little light toffee and tropical fruity pineapple. A nice palate with a little extra viscocity but still showing good acidity. Good buy.
A little rougher around the edges than the Pinot Gris. More noticeable acidity. Lighter tropical fruit and some citric notes as well. Lime, honey dew and some lean oak. Shorter finish.
Light salmon color. Some strawberry, cotton candy and fresh linen aromas. Nice candied notes. Balanced finish with a really approachable sense overall. Softer flavors and not too complex - very easy drinking, which is it's intention.
A nice wine. Funky classic Oregon pinot qualities. Shroomy, forest floor. A light plush strawberry and maraschino cherry play. A little bit of red flowers. Nicely structured palate. Great acid but still velvety mouth feel. Really good. Showing better than the Elizabeth's Reserve tasted just after.
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Chehalem Mountains
Less funk than the regular Willamette Pinot. More spice driven and a little bigger with more back bone. Masculine and rustic. Needs some time on its side. Give it a couple years to fall into balance.
