  This is a beautiful wine. And I say this as a proponent of Willamette Valley pinot noirs well above California pinots. It has every aspect of pinot that we find appealing here - balance, elegance, lush fruit, complex - very Burgundian. It is drinking perfectly now but should hold well for another year or two. Wish we had more.

  Candied cherry fruits and a bit monolithic but smooth and mouthfilling. A lot of people will love this wine.

  A very good Pinot; medium full body with blueberry/cherry notes and lite peppery finish.

  Not a big finish, no bright acidity; but if you like silky, this is a fantastic PN. Popped and poured 2/10/13; remembered why I bought a few at the winery. Good stuff.

  Grogeous aromas of cherry & cola. The cherry follows through to the palate where it meets other red berry fruit.
  
  Very, very young. Needs another 16 months to show its stuff.
