September 24, 2023 - Retail $65. I first tasted this wine as part of the Fourth Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir and I liked it (90pts). Here is what I wrote then: "Light to medium color with a rather muted nose but some spice and a bit of heat. The palate is much more expressive with good, but subtle fruit, more than ample acidity, and an earthiness that is often lacking in American Pinot." While most of that is true today, the wine is much more than that. There is a richness, layers, and even chutzpah that I did not pick up two years ago. Certainly big and rich for an Oregon Pinot, but this is stellar.

October 19, 2020 - Ripe cherry, marrionberry, graham cracker, red hots, and a touch of umami mushroom. The palate is broad and plush with ample tannin and acidity to bring structure and composure. An inviting and pleasing wine that has the structure and persistence to age through 2026+.
