Bright crimson; medium bodied. Black cherry and strawberry, along with hints of forest floor. Stem-y and savory...quite Burgundian. Medium-long finish, but all on front of palate. Was delightful all evening, by itself, or with lamb tagine leftovers.

Served with salmon on the grill. The words elegant and seamless come to mind. Light cherry / strawberry a little forest floor and baking spices bring up the rear. Pretty much everything we like about OR Pinot.

Consistent with last tasting in March, 2016. Fully mature, drink now.
Medium crimson in color, this wine reveals ripe cherry, Asian plum, cedar and hints of saddle leather. The mouth feel gives sweet, fresh red fruits with a hint of saline and forest floor. The finish is well integrated with the red fruits and acidity in perfect balance. 13.1% abv.
Purchased for $49US, this wine is in a good place now. It seems at full maturity. Another excellent wine from my favorite vineyard (and my favorite winemakers). Kudos Tom & Deb Mortimer (and Steve Ryan) on another winner.

Seemed less expressive than earlier vintages or other blocks from this vineyard.

Ruby color. Thin legs. Light mouth feel. Strawberry and cherry on the palate. Bitter finish. In all somewhat disappointing.
