Drinking another bottle of this and it’s a little fresher than the last, but like the last is drinking very very well. Christmas spice, red berries, a little smoky jerky, and a touch of cool salty air. The nose has a really nice intensity to it, the palate is cool and restrained. This is quite good.

This has some interesting stuff going on currently — beef jerky, tobacco, dried herbs and meat, but with some crunchy berries. Probably not going to last too much longer but a nice mix of tertiary notes and some brighter fruit notes.

Much better after about an hour after opening. Red cherries and fruity with hints of tobacco that ends with a spicy finish. It was rather muted when I first opened it.

This is nice pinot noir 'table wine,' nothing fancy or complex about it. Strongly fruit forward, followed by notes of tobacco, cedar and oak. It's sort of... entry-level, if you will. At the price it's a good bargain for regular drinking rather than special occasions.

This screwcap Pinot Noir is delectable, . . . especially given the modest tariff. Dark cherry red. Medium bodied. Slight tearing. Nose to glass: candied apple, cherry, cola, plum, and strawberry. On the velvety palate: extracted cherry, black raspberry and strawberry flavors are supported by earth, confectioner’s sugar, cherry pit and must, with a hint of wood spice. Nicely balanced. Blind, I surely would have guessed Willamette Valley, reminiscent of Ken Wright’s style. Serious bottle variation, though. Previous bottle was raw, making no improvement. This one was really something. QPR. 13.3% abv.

Ripe strawberry. Cedar. Tart cherries on the palate. Smooth mouthfeel. lingering tartness on the finish. Scored this at $12 a bottle, should have bought more at that price!

Drank over two night. Had strong legs and a deeper color than I expected. Nose was simple strawberry not quite ripe and sour cherry. A bit of mineral and cedar. Pleasant on the palate that un ripe fresh fruit comes at you, has a nice finish. Good weekday wine and intro to pac northwest pustule Pinot. Did not really evolve much but did hold up for day two just fine. Had with burgers on day one and stuffed peppers on day two. Would buy again it was a good value.

Tasted over 2 days. Similar notes as last note. The wine was OK on Day 1, a decent Tuesday night wine popped and poured, and served around 66-68 degrees. It was much better on Day 2, when served around 63-65 degrees. I think the key is to give this wine some air and make sure it is served at cellar temp.

Solid example of entry-level Oregon pinot. Dark fruits, spice and a hint of earth with a medium body, good balance and smooth texture. This bottle had more depth and weight than prior bottles. 89

This bottle was good except for a vegetal component on the back-end. Flavors of raspberry, earth, and spice, but a bit less of everything vs prior bottles.

Good entry level Pinot. Dried cherries and blueberries up front, but plenty of tobacco, cedar, and earth to keep it interesting. Medium bodied with a few tannins and a long finish. Good QPR.

Medium body balanced wine with otherwise classic Pinot noir character. Nice long finish.

Perfectly solid, but a bit too douce for anything other than weekday pizza.

Nice wine on a Tuesday night. Medium bodied, gained a bit of character as the evening wore on. Excellent QPR via Last Bottle.

Pretty simple pinot, Fruit up front, not much depth but has the pinot clarity. Fine for a simple table wine

Not quite as good as the 2014, this has more tartness. But still a very enjoyable wine with flavors of raspberry, earth and spice.
