From magnum. Cork was rather dry and did break upon opening but majority of storage was at the winery with limited time in the home cellar which should have been fine. A solid but underwhelming experience given all the more impressive Willamette Valley Pinots out there now. Fruit had subsided and what remained was a rather flat somewhat earthy beverage. I was optimistic for a more dynamic wine. Fine again but drink up

Nice and smooth, not overly bold. Balanced fruit, felt the alcohol content was slightly high; better taste than smell. Notes of pomegranate and definite stone fruit appeal. Recommend consuming before 2016 completion.

Nice but fading. Berries and earth and some leaves.

Nice mature wine. Bit of cherry up front gives way to currant and blueberries. Finishes with a bit of Vanilla Coke.
