March 24, 2024 - Medium ruby. Pronounced aromas of cherry, red plum, violet, cranberry, mushroom, vanilla, forest floor. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. This is outstanding and has the potential to age further.

October 9, 2023 - In a really nice spot - giving off cherry, baking spice and potpourri, and some hints of forest floor. Can develop more of the latter with time but worth drinking now.

January 19, 2023 - Medium color and body. Barnyard aromas. Blackberry flavors but not too ripe. Good acidity with very lengthy finish.

October 28, 2022 - Sweet entry with piercing fruit. I believe it's owner thought it would pass for Burgundy--it wasn't bad, but it didn't.

September 2, 2022 - Primarily cherries and other red fruits on the nose supported by earthy scents and white flowers: jasmine and sweet honeysuckle. Notes of rubber or garden hose appear after about 30 minutes, but not to the point of unpleasantness and even adding to the complexity. Increased sous bois after 45 minutes. Palate is a good reflection of the nose. Perfect balance. This is a delicate, sensual and elegant wine. Medium finish with short to medium length that doesn't stray from its focus. Very appealing and pleasant enough to drink and admire without food. In a very good spot right now - for sure open for business! *The Eyrie Vineyards founded in 1965 by David Lett, the man many credit as founding the whole Willamette Valley wine industry, when he brought 3000 cuttings up from California. *Jason Lett (David's son), took over as winemaker in 2005. *Diam 10 closure.
