Graphite early, gooseberries chime in, a bit of (good) cat piss - which fades as lemon jumps in, joined by tamarind. Great job! More forming way, way above its class! Fabulous QPR.

What an unbelievably good bottle of wine. I gave it 89 and 90 in previous notes, but this bottle is/was just that much better. Nice nose of earth, red cherries, and other red fruit. On the palate, the wine is elegant, nice and fruity, and earthy.

A nice reminder how much I like Oregon PN and EW. It was a catalyst for me to buy their 2012s. It seems to me as thought the new owners have pretty much continued Russ and Mary's quality.

Trying to catch up on my TNs so Matt L doesn't give me grief. I remember when I opened the first bottle of this 2010 I was underwhelmed to say the least. This bottle was really good and, in fairness to that first bottle, I likely opened it too soon. This one was earthy, fruity, and well balanced, and had some nice weight to it. What's not to like for about $20?

Lovely floral aromatics and elegant red fruit in the mouth. Balanced. Ready to drink. Great QPR.
