April 21, 2014 - I've been pretty spoiled lately so take the following review with a grain of salt, but this wine didn't really do it for me. Torn btwn this and the Riesling and I should have gone with my first inclination. It's very astringent. Tart on the initial taste, but that tartness does not give way to other flavors - just stays that way. Maybe, if I push myself, I can get a bit of an earthiness to it (but really it's more like straight dirt). It's a shame, but perhaps for someone with a different taste.

March 15, 2014 - Medium-minus opacity, slightly orange cherry, no sediment; nose: a bit barnyardy, wheat cracker, red fruits, slight alcohol heat; medium acidity, medium tannin, medium-minus body; offensive vanilla oakiness, astringent cherry and red fruits, slightly bitter; sadly a long, rough finish.
An interesting nose that does not at all carry through a really unpleasant mouth. The mouth falls apart here substantially. Drink now, or throw away. -

August 12, 2013 - Perhaps Vino Volo left this over night, oak is forward and then some pungent darker fruit, like processed chocolate covered cherries. Not age worthy.

March 7, 2013 - Willamette Valley Wines presents: Pinot in the City (City Winery, Chicago, IL): Nose: There is a very herbal and somewhat green quality on the nose along with tones of rhubarb, herbs, red fruits, and some floral tones.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity and some nice tannins. The palate leans green with some stemmy tones, herbs, red fruits, and rhubarb tones.
Overall: This is on the greener side. It is on the delicate side, but is just a bit too herbal.
