  This wine seems to have been well made. It is just getting old. If this bottle is typical, it is time to drink up. I am sorry I held it so long. Mild tannin with balanced fruit on opening but it quickly deteriorated to a little tannin and bland, mostly lost fruit. Over the hill.

  Cherry, cranberry, tart fruit, crunchy. A nice wine but not as good as the regular wine in some other vintages (e.g. Purple Hands Willamette 2015). And not as good as all the hype, upon release.
  
  Good with our grilled. Atlantic salmon and wild and long-grained rice.
  
  Drink now.

  Sensational! Powerful, crunchy, tongue tingling fruit. Oregan seems to do awesome Pinot noir, shame there's not much around in the UK

  A bit harsh for my palate, as there were some rough edges and sharp acidity. Overall just a bit disjointed. At the same time, the underlying dark berry/cherry and spice flavors were good. Lots of bottle variation with this wine.
