  Likely at it's peak now. The nose is a bit smoky with a hint of sweetness. Nice balance with flavors of sweet cherry and spices. Long finish with some wet oak.

  Tasting good, nice balance of fruit and oak. Some cherry and cranberry notes and oak on the finish. Classic Oregon pinot for this area of the valley.

  This has matured nicely, forest floor dominates the nose, but also some spice present. Nicely subtle in the mouth, with lots of earth, but also herb, spice, and sun-warmed red fruit. Very satisfying for the price.

  Decanted. Nice midweight with good lift, if not terribly complex. 13.5%

  Enjoyable, fruit-forward, friendly wine. Mostly brighter fruits, but enough tension and earth to hold it together. Quite slurpable.
