This is a big, dark, juicy wine from a vintage that wasn't supposed to last this long. Everything was well integrated and the age has added complexity that wasn't there before including just enough acidity to keep it from tipping into fruit juice. This bottle seemed at its apex and I plan to drink the rest of mine soon.

Terrific Oregon aged Pinot. Good depth of color, fruit and subtle earth on the nose. Wonderful balance and finesse . These are good right out of the shoot but do age very well. This was not a particularly good year but this is good juice!

On open was tight, after an hour in the decanter opened up to nice fruit with good balance. One the heavier side, and not a lot of acid; I think this is in a good window now for drinking after a one hour decant.

Needs air. Not one to bring to a restaurant.

Scents of dark fruit and pipe tobacco. Lacking acidity balance, perhaps a sign of age or poor storage. Purchased 2015.
