Pop and pour. Followed over 6 hours, on its own, then with food (pasta in a sausage beef tomato sauce, in case you were wondering). Then again on its own. Ru y color. Woodsy nose with red berry fruits.Some rhubarb and dried flowers. Light frsh berry intro. Shows good acidity. Nice Oregon pinot. But this just does not have much depth.
Quality cork. Branded, no vintage or vineyard. 12.5%abv.

Frank over two nights. First night it was very closed, dry, almost pruny. Second night it seemed to open up revealing more cherry, but overall this was lacking the brightness I love in many Oregon Pinots.

Group score with a range of 89-90. Did not decant; did not record notes. More fruit forward than expected for Williamette PN. Black and red cherry, blackberry, very slight blueberry for fruit. Good mix of spices. Tannins providing good support still. Full mouthfeel and long/medium length. Drinking very well currently.

Mouth: Supple, velveteen notes of black cherry and light blueberry fan out across the palete, picking up steam as notes of rose stem and light mineral take over. Finish is resonant, with the rose notes lingering longest. Drink now - 2026
Overall: Velvety and ripe, this has a lot of the right things in place and shows surprisingly long length. The focus in the fruit definitely needs to come up to push it into becoming a real winner. A fine effort all in all however.

Disappointing--lacking in concentration. I dare characterize the fruit on the palate as watery.
