Pineapple juice, stone fruit, apple, orange, bubble gum, earth, a little chalky mineral, and a touch of dried grass on the nose. Stone fruit, lemon, apple, earth, and some light herbs on palate. Mouthwatering acidity, medium body, medium finish. Drier on the palate than the nose implies. Cleansing, refreshing, and delicious. The kind of bottle that you want to have at hand for certain kinds of heavy meals.

This wine was a gift from a man named Roy Jones who worked for me for many years. Each year he would give me a nice Christmas gift, and this wine was such a present. Roy died unexpectedly this week, so we drank it in his honor. Much better on the second night. Deep black fruit with spice and good mouthfeel. Cheers to you Roy. May you rest in peace

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), prune, pomegranate and alcohol/hot. It tastes like raisin, pomegranate and alcohol/hot. The body is medium/full. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes long.

Beautiful ruby red color, nice mouthfeel, low tannins, and lots of fruit. Wonderful aromas and taste. This beauty was definitely worth the wait. Sadly it’s our last bottle…time to revisit.

Year in, year out this wine always impresses. In flavor and body, definitely more 'gris' than 'grigio' with satisfying balance and minerality.

Zinfandel's have never been my favorite dessert wines. This is a lot better then I remember. Will have to get more.

Tasting notes: Dark red berry and herbs on the nose lead to a rich tannin filled mouthful of berries on a long griping finish. A vintage to age.

Double decant or let stand for an hour after decanting once. Improved dramatically over time resting. Very good wine.

Dark in color from age and starting to show some dried fruit characteristics. Still mouthwatering and very pleasant to drink.

Friends brought this over to have with steamed clams on 3/2/18. It had a rich, powerful bouquet of lychee, pear, pineapple, ginger and spice aromas. The palate was rich and a little off dry with flavors that followed the nose.

3.5 Cherry nose with a decent dose of spice and earth. Light body. Mild tannins. After trying a fair number of Columbia Gorge Pinot Noir's, this one delighted most (the bar is set high with the Willamette next door). Excellent.

Pop & pour. Cork had leaked up one side a tad, but being a fairly new release, I think it may have worked in our favor. Wine was nice, although slightly flat after it got some air. Blackberry, hints of pepper and some coffee on the finish. Drink 2018-2022 (may want to check under the capsule for leakage...if leaking, drink now.)

Rustic cherry, plum nose and hints of smoke. Intensely smoky, inky and dusty with drying finish. Graphite notes become more prominent through the finish as smoky overtones come roaring back.
