Agree with most of the comments by Yaozi. This is a very good Oregon Pinot with clean, moderate nose and flavors and good length. Wish I had more of these. Favorite of 3 Pinots from Burgundy ( 2010 Thenard Givry), New Zealand (2011 Craggy Range Te Tuna Road ), and Oregon (2012 Evening Land). Served with grilled standing rib for Thanksgiving and very good match for the food and occasion.

This is a very nice Pinot from Oregon. It still has subtle tannins and has none of the cloying sweetness characteristic of many Pinots in the $10 to $20 price range. It is distinctively Burgundian in style, although light and almost flowery in it's delicate flavors. Excellent Pinot to drink over the next two to three years.

Very nice bottle, still going strong. Drink dates too short.
