3/19/2024 - cclearningwine wrote: 91 pointsImmediately, I thought it drinks above it's price point. (Which I should openly share.) Light-medium bodied but with weight in flavor and finish. Lots of strawberry and blackberry on the nose. A really nice balance of fruit and herbaceous notes on the palette. I will definitely buy again. |

3/19/2024 - Ben Christiansen wrote: NRPretty sweet fruit to the nose, maybe just a bit of spice as well. A little tight and structured as it goes. And then a little bit more generous on the mid palate, and then fairly long. Good stuff indeed. |

8/13/2023 - geexploitation Likes this wine: NRGood bottle overall. Was drinking just a bit hot right now, although maybe my palate was weird for some reason. Burgundian red fruits predominate, not a heavy Willamette style PN. |

5/24/2023 - ocassiuso Likes this wine: NRBottle 1292g. No capsule. Moderately intense aromas of citrus and pome fruit, lemon zest, ginger. Dry, with elevated juicy acidity, just medium-bodied, but 13.5% abv. Very appealing fruit on the palate, apple, pear and lemon, fairly long, with a bit of salinity on the finish. Tasty. |

4/30/2023 - Ben Christiansen wrote: NRCrisp and fresh, a nice sense of lemon to it. The Yamhill Carlton. Fresh and vibrant and pretty. Super crisp and super dry. 20% of this ended.up in the jezebel. 12.33% alcohol this year not 13.5. Has a touch of the spicy exotic notes. |

4/1/2023 - Ben Christiansen wrote: NRJust and extraordinary wine right now - the first time beautiful fruit expression with minerality and just a little bit of wild gaminess going on in the back ground. Second day open completely resolved and oh so beautiful, like a soft gorgeous Chambolle Musigny. |

11/16/2022 - Charlesaf3 wrote: 87 pointsI think it's a little better than it was 10 months ago so perhaps it's minorly improving with age. But my impression remains perfectly acceptable and utterly unremarkable. A fine under $15 bottle of wine which I'm pretty sure I paid more for to my regret |

6/23/2022 - Ben Christiansen wrote: NRA little bit of a bananas on the nose. But that blows off. Crisp and light on the palate. A little bit of "dancing on the palate" as someone said to me many years ago. Kurt, right? Crisp and light and refreshing. Really good this vintage. Tart, crisp, light and fun. Apparently no gewurtz in there this year. |

Light green-gold; fragrant white tree fruits, some honey, some baking spice; rich white stone fruits, some spice, slightly off-dry, good mouthfeel. Enjoyed by a Riesling-doubter and two friends. PG, Gewurz, Riesling. Would buy again at the restaurant but not off-premise. Quality, age, price (in restaurant context): Notable. |

1/3/2022 - Charlesaf3 wrote: 87 pointsPretty blah Pinot. Neither offensive or interesting. A bit of unresolved tannins still, but I don't see that doing anything for the fruit. Vague sour cherry flavors, reasonably high acid levels though nothing excessive. I'm not optimistic it will improve with age, but given I have 5 more I guess I'll find out. |
