Translucent ruby red. Lovely earthy nose with bright cherry notes. Bright and lively on the palate, moist earth, cherries, strawberries, hint of sharp spice. Just lovely. Fine tannins, great acidity, fabulous balance. Finishes long and spicy. Not a showy wine but impressive. Probably at peak. Drink next 5 years.

One of my favorite Willamette producers, 15 years old and you wouldn’t know it, an excellent vintage from an excellent producer in the southern Willamette. Bright Raspberry and tart cherry notes with nice acidity and gentle tannins with restrained abv. This wine went beautifully with our lamb chops, sad to say it was our last bottle but it did not disappoint

Bright red berry with earth, vibrant acidity. An absolutely stunning wine, true to the appellation, producer and vintage. Everything you could want in a Pinot! 12 years old and this wine is still a baby. At least 5 years from its peak, this one could age for 20-30 years easy. I looking forward to trying another bottle of the same in a few more years

Delicate earthy, strawberry notes on the nose. The fruit is pure and clear. Lovely, subtle strawberry fruit, earthy notes. Smooth, resolved tannins, nice acidity, great balance. Finishes moderately long with sweet cherry/strawberry notes. Lovely wine, no need to wait on it. I'd drink over the next 2 to 3 years, but it may hold longer.
