  • 2005 Landmark Pinot Noir Grand Detour 89 Points

    A wonderful nose of forest floor and mocha, followed by hints of cola and strawberry. The palate had loads of cola and cherry, as well as mocha and earth. The tannins were firm and it had a long finish.

    I loved the locker room nose on this wine. I also smelled some nice strawberry and rasp berry fruit. The palate had cherry and forest floor, mixed with a bit of spice. It had firm tannins and a long finish.

  • 2004 The Four Graces Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 82 Points

    This wine was very disappointing. It started off with a good nose of cherry cola, strawberry and forest floor. The palate had sour cherry and forest floor, but the tannins were bitter and the finish was not very long.
