  June 28, 2021 - How do they produce such lovely authentic pinot noir for 23 bucks a bottle? The word is, they spend nothing on marketing and everything is for the vines. It tastes like it. Excellent. The 2018 is every bit as good or better.

  October 11, 2020 - Reasonably strong oak flavor and some mild fruit, but thin and not particularly interesting.

  November 17, 2019 - Underbrush, loamy earth and aromas of raspberries roll off the glass. The juice is a nicely balanced blend of tart acid and fairly fine tannins. The palate echoes the nose with rich raspberries playing against earthy greenery with just a hint of white pepper in the background.
  On the lighter side for Oregon, this is so nice and lean, it is restrained and balanced with an intensity of flavor that belies the lighter weight.
  Fantastic now and likely to improve with time. Lovely, lean OR Pinot.

  July 27, 2019 - Taste Pinot Noir (3-OR, 2-CA, 1-NZ, 1-Aussie, 1-Chile, & 1-Burg) (San Diego Wine Co.): N: Closed; Ripe straws/red rasps; Intensity lurking?
  
  P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by a bit of astringent pucker which, fairly seamlessly, QUITE works itself out by the LONG, BALANCED finish with a very, VERY slightly tangy/bitterness with an elegant swtness to the few, very, VERY fine tannins. DESERVES through '19, then likely drinking through '22. Impressive! 12.5% ABV; My EXC-/EXC, the higher quite arguable for the QPR of this vendor's $15.99, which is $2 < wine-searcher's lowest.

  May 25, 2019 - No detailed notes: High acid and lean, just the way I prefer. Typical OR fruit lies behind some nice herbal notes. Had over 3 days and it was just as good or better on day 3.
