Fantastic! The wine that opened my eyes to Oregon Pinot. Had for years but this bottle is etherial. Medium body long finish. Balanced aromatic berry. Need restraint not to just drink it up. This is in a perfect spot on PnP

Smooth with a capital “S,” with a seriously long finish. Dark raspberry on the nose, dark berry bordering on blackberry taste, with some hints of complex spiciness. I personally prefer a bit more acidity in my Pinots, but there’s just enough here (and again, there’s that long finish) to keep you coming back for more.

Drinking well now with a little time to open up after popping cork. But definitely still with several years left to mature. Very silky and smooth, with subtle fruity accents. Well integrated. Fuller texture than some other pinots, has some qualities more consistent with some heavier red varietals. But fantastic all the same.

Wine reviews often note silky textures, but I'm not sure I really knew what they were talking about until drinking this wine. But it's even better, like liquid cashmere, so smooth and warm and appealing. The nose is muted and fruity, the flavors the same with a layer of spice, and drinking it is a hedonistic pleasure.
