Tuesday, November 3, 2015 - This wine is awesome, anyone giving scores in the 80s must be either joking, terrible tasters, or perhaps tasting the Willamette Valley bottle, not BF Vineyard. It's too bad Robert Parker or Wine Advocate won't review it

That's the style pinot I like. My guess is that this wine was very tight and showed little in its first 1+ year after release, and that the tasters who didn't think highly of it prefer a ripe style of pinot.
