Slight brown color to the edges on the ruby color, expected for a pinot of this age. It has heldup remarkably well with spicenotes on the nose, but lacking any bright fruit. Pleasant mouth feel with cherry mid palate and a black cherry finish. Very drinkable, but was probably better 4 years ago. Drink them up if you have them!

Popped and poured. Translucent ruby color. Nose of acrid red raspberry, cherry pits, violets, damp cellar. Layers of deeply pitched black raspberry and Bing cherry fruit on the palate cut with cinnamon, iodine, and anise. Fresh acidity and serious tannin. Ample structure with feathered, velvety edges. Longer finish of earthy black cherry fruit and dark, earthy grip.

Delightful. Enchanting nose that is mostly red berry fruit, earth, and coffee. On the palate, a variety of red and blue fruits, light bodied, with more earth and spice, (my wife thinks there is some anise here also), with fruit that becomes quite concentrated on the finish.

Virtual Oregon Pinot thanks to Jason (Zoom): There was some conversation about whether this wine was oxidized and heat damaged. I'll assume heat damage.

Virtual Pinots with a Little More (Home): Dark red color. Stewed dark fruits, very vegetal, sweet. Suspect heat damaged.
