The palate and finish were similarly spicy... hard to tell, but it seemed nice. |

4/9/2011 - David Paris (dbp) wrote: 73 pointsNorth Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/9/2011-4/10/2011: Way worse than last year. Really funky, nastiness on the nose, with some sweetness. Sweet again on the palate, with tart, generic sweet, slightly rotting apples. The finish is really bitter and tart, showing rotting apple pie. Really funky and chemical driven. I didn't note anything attractive about the texture this time. |

The palate is much nicer, though, showing some pleasing large fruit that's quite lush, coupled with bright acid. Pretty decent. The finish shows nice acid and tart fruit. Smooth throughout, though the nose is definitely off putting compared to the showing last year. |

The aromas are slightly nasty green apple sourness... like that of fermenting apples. There's more funky green apples on the palate, with mild acids, and this really nasty metallic streak. Similar on the finish; raspy metallic fruit that has been sitting in a barn for too long. |

4/9/2011 - gripNsip wrote: 88 pointsPretty blackberry fruit, old wood and rubber aromas. Tight on the palate, tart blackberries, cherries along with gentle tannins. Balanced acidity. Smells and tastes good, nicely balanced wine overall. It could use another year in bottle, but drinking good enough now. 88+ |

4/9/2011 - gripNsip wrote: 78 pointsThe palate reminds me of drinking spiced apple cider, this has an oxidized flavor as well, not sure if they were going for that or what. Yellow apples, lightly sweet, with a weird, limp acidity. Not my style. |

Very creamy on the palate and soft... feels like silk on the tongue... definitely more about the texture than the flavors for me, and the flavors are quite light. Again, mild on the finish. |

Nice barrel funk and spice on the nose, some logan berries, and red apple skins. Really pleasing strawberry ice cream flavors on the palate. Good, well rounded finish. Nice wine, though the pour was incredibly slight. Not sure if I'd be so fond if I had more? |

More apple skins on the palate, but what the hell happens on the finish? This got really nasty, with really bad tree bark funk, sap, and nasty bitterness. Really no good on the finish... |

12/19/2007 - wineaboutit wrote: 85 pointsVery nice nose of cherry, and only slight wiff of earth...unlike many Oregon pinots. A smooth, almost elegant wine, soft tannins for such a warm vintage...and fantastic value for $11 & change. 2nd day did not note any improvement in the flavor profile. A solid wine, and outstanding value in Oregon pinot noir. |
