  Very similar experience to my last bottle a year and a half ago. Decanted 90 minutes, consumed over the next 2+ hours. Darker end of Oregon Pinot spectrum leaning to more blue fruits with a bit of black raspberry. Lots of baking spice, hint of forest floor and soy. Tannins are fully integrated. Love how everything is in harmony.
  
  This Rhone-loving winemaker can sure do a great bottle of Pinot at a stellar price-point.

  Balance of tannins and fruit. Soft but vibrant. Really allowed the grapes the soil to come through.

  Dropped into a decanter, let it breath for 90 minutes and finished some 3 hours after that. Little darker color than I associate with OR Pinot. Nose is intoxicating with some 5 spice, raspberry, and dark cherry. The palate follows the nose with a little more raspberry than other components. Sneaky smooth tannins bring up the rear but at the very end there is a little lift. This is in a really nice place.

  Had a glass on night two of being opened. Really coming together at this point with nice balance of fruit / acids / tannins. No sense of alcohol just great mouthfeel.
