Aged very well. Color beginning to brown on the edges, but otherwise great. Nose restrained but pleasant. Taste retains good fruit and balance is good. Still tart, but a bit of stewed fruit “creeping” into the flavor profile. Soft tannins still present. Good finish of medium to long length. Nice wine!

One of the original vineyards of Torii Mor. Very "Oregon" nose, light game, cherry, earth all in there. Palette is pretty spectacular, as the layers interact. Not a huge profile, but lots of things to talk about. This is good stuff, and it's all so subtle yet powerful like Pinot should be. French oak open top fermented in 3 ton tanks. Aged in French oak 16-18 months 10% new.

Really was not what I expected, lacked any depth, light blackberry undertone, seemed to get worse as went on.
