Tasted after an hour of air. Some cherry cola notes. Some good acid hit to provide balance. Some drying tannins counteract the sweetness. Medium finish. Drink up.

Big, dark and brooding initially.Added a bit of Oregon spice and some nice red fruit with 45 minutes of air. Crowd pleaser.

Hitting its prime right now. Unctuous, full mouth feel. Beautiful bottle of juice.

Nice balanced, big-fruited Oregon Pinot. Darker black fruit dominates, with medium length and attractive flavors. Not subtle, but solid.

Dark fruits, considerable oak, black earth, and cut tobacco. On the heavy side, and though stalwart, not particularly complex. Drink by 2022-2024.
