We live in Oregon and stocked up on the excellent 2012 Pinots. First time tasting the Van Duzer, a pleasant surprise vis a vis its peers from this vintage mainly due to its lighter style and unusually fragrant bouquet. Good color and lovely cherry/raspberry flavors, good balance and long finish. Wish it had a bit of funk/secondary flavors to add interest, but overall lovely wine, drinking well now.

Very pleasant, Old-World style Pinot It is still drinking well but not likely to improve considerably with further aging. A good value at under $30.00.

Clear bodied cherry red. Bright nose with red fruit, earthy, black pepper and minerals. Smooth acidity and clean finish. Very tight and polished.
