Smoked meat, olive juice, a natural freshness to the berry fruit that gives a freshly pressed impression. It's a simple, everyday style yet with surprising nuance and complexity.

Anne Krebiehl’s excellent review from 2016 in WE is dead on. Apples and citrus. Now the herbal character on the nose presents as freshly cut weedy grasses, and there’s a mature, beeswax component to the palate. Years of life left.

This is great winemaking in a high-yielding vintage. Obviously the concentration isn’t that of a better vintage, but oh man this is balanced and precise and keeps getting better each glass. Wonderfully delineated flavors, archetypal of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: brown earthy spices, cola, red apple skin, slightly sour cherry, wild raspberry, pastille candy. Super-fine tannins and still plenty of acidity to go four or five more years. Now-2029
