Classic Champoux Merlot from Peter. Fills the palate with dark rich notes, super well rounded and smooth. Drink what you have left in the next couple of years for full enjoyment.

One of the oldest and finest producers in the Willamette Valley, this reserve disappoints with thinnest and singularity of fruit. Tanins still over power and doubt the hidden cherry and raspberries will develop. I will drink one in 6 months and another in a year, but doubtful it gets better.

Bold with plenty of dark black fruit. Plenty of tanin to last 5 more years. I am waiting 2 years for the next one.

Intense black fruit immediately gets your attention and a long slow finish holds it for quite a while. Stil drinking very well and shuld for another 3-4 years.

All pro's did not think this would age, except WA! Still a classic The Struie, massive ripe black berry and blueberry, dark and delicious, easy 3 more peak years.

Only because we had the 2014 Upper terrace at the same time. This was a steal of a wine when release, reminds me of the first Beaux Frere, Beaux Freres! If you have this drink ti now and for 4 more years. true Pinot Noir, you stole it!

Incredible complexity, fruit and softening tanins. I have one more and will drink within the next 3 years.

Soft tanins, lucious fruit and finish. This was a 750 ml and opening the 6 liter for our daughters wedding in September. Should be spectacular. 750's I would drink over the next 2 years and enjoy!

Slight brown color to the edges on the ruby color, expected for a pinot of this age. It has heldup remarkably well with spicenotes on the nose, but lacking any bright fruit. Pleasant mouth feel with cherry mid palate and a black cherry finish. Very drinkable, but was probably better 4 years ago. Drink them up if you have them!

Tanin is holding in and very well balanced. Actually reminds me of a soutern rhone Syrah. Balanced with blueberry fruit and fimished nicely without being over powering.
