Bright without being too fake or sugary. Nice high toned fruits on the nose followed by strawberries and cherries on the palate. A hint of smoke, a touch of vanilla-oak. Light to medium overall impression. Ready to drink up.
A great bottle at around $20. Tasted back in December 2014 with similar notes and score.

A very impressive improvement over what I tasted in the 2009 offering of this wine. This one has a seamless streak of concentrated, juicy fruit from lips to finish. The nose has brooding, almost stewed like dark fruit aroma. The fruit on the palate ranges from mulled to candied cherry, blueberry, plum and red raspberry. Lively, good solid mouth feel. Nicely balanced and integrated tannins, oak, acid and alcohol. Really strong finish of spicy maraschino cherry.

well made Oregon pinot - good weight and balance. A little riper than my favorite pinots, but a very good value
