On opening, this was a bit sticky sweet but with air it became much more palatable, always with a bit of cola, but nice cherry flavours, nice balance, a little mushroom meatiness.

No formal notes. Contrary to other reviews, i thought this wine was very good from the start, especially when taking price into account. The one down side may be the lack of complexity, but i expect that from a higher price point.

Sampled over the course of 2 nights. It slipped down easily enough but it is pretty nondescript. Nothing about it stood out. Somewhat disappointing. Will try with food next time, maybe that'll help.

Unless you like everything that is Oregon pinot, this wine is completely unremarkable. It's got all the negatives that can typify OR pinot in abundance without anything to set it apart: too oaky, too funky, too heavy, and muted fruit. Granted, it comes in at least $10 less than many of the more distinguished OR pinots, but for the money, I could drink something more outstanding from another region or varietal. If you're longing for the earthy weight and funk of the willamette valley and you don't need much else, then drink up!

Not a lot of experience with pinot, not a fan of pinot, and still not a fan of pinot :)
