Last bottle of this...terrific, gorgeous wine. Soft, complex, and intriguing. Plenty of both fruit and secondary/tertiary character. Raspberry/cherry, mushroom, earth, leather, clove and spice. Drink now (or within the next year or so)....

It really was bittersweet opening my last bottle of this. I truly wish I had more. While it is nothing short of outstanding...if I had more I'd wait another year or three before opening the next bottle. I think this has to go down as my most favored Pinot Noir from Oregon in the past few years. One thing is for sure. Those who have this in their cellar are lucky!

WOW, what an amazing bottle. Funk that could not be described on the nose but as "oregon funk" dominated this wine off the start. Mouth feel was silky, and elegant, with bright red fruit, expecially Maine strawberries, made me want more of this wine. It was ashame to see the decanter empty after this wine but we continued to smell our glasses for 20min after that. This is a wine that i would truly love to get my hands on and celllar. I look forward to trying this agian in the future.

Jim Anderson / PGC dinner - Etzel Block Vertical and Blind Tasting (New England): Blood, tomato, stewed pepper on nose. Moderate concentration. On palate - wow. Rich, mellow. And this is an off year! Damn.

I'm with you guys. Time really helps PGs wines and this one is what Oregon lovers dream about.
