Nose: While very mature still youthful aromas of black cherry, plum, and dried herbs and loamy hints. Palate: Black cherrry with the plums, and regrettably, almost non-existant acid and tannin. Probably waited too long on this but can see that it was quite good in it's day. Right now it is 90 points due to the nose. Otherwise it is 88 points tops. Drink up now if you have any.

This was fantastic. Just a hint of barnyard, but mostly this deliciously dense sour cherry sensation from start to finish. The mouthfeel was supple and almost heavy, though not to the point I could not identify the varietal. The variety of flavors was truly divine - overall, this wine was a real show-stopper.

Perfumed nose, but subtle. Rich flavor profile. Bright red fruit, spice, tobacco and black fruits, Deep and earthy notes as well. Like satin in the mouth, long finish. Not overly fruit driven, very structured.

Deep and dark. Toasty vanilla, black cherry and pie spice on the nose. Flavors of Black cherry, vanilla, oak, plum, currant and blackberry. Great effort from Mo!

Classic Oregon Pinot. Nice rich smokiness, no bitter acidity at all.

Cranberry, plum, cherry, raspberry, minerals and cranberries. Medium to long finish with ripe fruit. No heat and a balanced effort. Wonderful wine.

Powerful pinot, perhaps one of the most extracted dense pinots we've had this year. This is one that should be revisited a ways down the road.
