August 1, 2022 - The wine is drinking incredibly good right now. Won’t benefit with additional aging so don’t hold for to long.

March 9, 2020 - Drank alongside a 1999 Drouhin Clos des Mouches from Burgundy. Decanted two hours ahead. Served double blind (not blind to me).
Medium red color, lots of bricking. The nose was mature cherry oriented, with tea notes, good, if not particularly complex. Fully mature on the palate, what I think of as a classic Oregon profile, black cherry, rather than berry, and again that mature tea note. Elegant. I suspect the wine has tasted like this for years, and will last for years. This was good, though I preferred its Burg cousin for its freshness and its future.
Drink, but no hurry. I don’t see it improving. (B+)1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 30, 2019 - All the previous reviews I suspect are from bottles that did not age in a good cellar. Had 2 bottles bought at auction from a large collection of better Oregon makers. Poured from bottle. Took about 15 minutes to open in glass. Lovely, integrated and tasty. This is fantastic drinking and elegant aged wine. Sad I only have 4 more.
