March 3, 2022 - Great shape. Great nose if leather and earth. Based on the nose I didn’t expect much fruit on the palate but they are there Loads of seeet fruit. Not tons of complexity but a solid wine overall. Not near dying but I don’t see it getting better

March 29, 2019 - Medium dark color. Clear rim. Smoky black fruit with baking spices first greet the nose. Ripe and viscous on entry with mostly black fruit flavors highlighted with spice and sweet herbs. Big, ripe and powerful, this wine is balanced and "spot on" for the vintage. Good acidity and well absorbed tannins lead to a long and serious finish. 92 pts. Drink now through 2022.

October 24, 2015 - Poured to a nice dark purple coloring. The nose started with a wonderful bouquet of perfumed red cherries. Unfortunately, after the bouquet faded, approx. 30-45 minutes, there was nothing left but a hollow shell of pinot with little fruit or anything else. (Of the 4 bottles purchased and opened. 2 were wonderful and 2 were like this.)

July 11, 2015 - A not quite ruby, not quite garnet coloring when poured. A lot of raspberry and cherry on the nose that hung around on the palate for a long while. The tannins have faded and the vanilla stayed tame compared with some previous bottles. Still, a good Oregon pinot but ready to drink

February 24, 2015 - Past it's prime. Had an artificial cork. Color just slightly off. Nose is faint. Not fragrant. Taste is noticeably off. No fruit presence at all.
