Brownish garnet. Strawberry, cinnamon, and earth nose. Light to medium bodied, raspberries, dirty cherries, spices, white pepper, fully integrated tannins, a bit of heat, and a long woody finish. Good, but went through the palate a little too fast.

I am mixed on this wine. As a pinot it's very enjoyable but as a Willamette valley pinot, it's confused. 14.1% abv and lots of ripe fruit. There are some very nice high toned aromatics (spice and perfume) but not enough for me to endorse this.

In a very nice place. Acid is good, flavor great. It has a few more years for good drinking, but probably not improving at this point. Just steady.

Immediately on opening it's earthy, woodsy, and full of cherries and cranberries. Lost some of its interest with a couple hours of air.
