  Great right out of the gate. The aromatics are incredible - lightly spiced raspberry jam. Heavenly. Well balanced on the palate and layered. Very light style. I didn't think it would be a good match for our beef tenderloin tonight but surprisingly it held its own. Just what you'd expect from a top notch winery. I had a surprising amount of sediment in the glass which was unexpected. Toward the end of the evening - 4 hours later - not quite as alluring. But all and all, a lovely wine.

  Moderately thin, pale red with wide slightly brown rim. Subdued but intoxicating nose of red berries, allspice, cloves, and more. Slightly tart and rustic in the mouth with tart cherry and raspberry dominating. Complex, long finish. Save last bottle to at least 2023. Much life left.

  Translucent purplish red. Rich, complex nose of red fruit, both cherry and raspberry, with nuanced overtones. Initially deep earthy profile in mouth over a relatively simple, subdued red fruit. Acidity and complexity emerge about 10 seconds in. Long and complex finish. Drinking well. Probably near peak butshould be fine for 3 to 5 more years.

  Produced with all Dijon 115 from this vineyard site this Pinot features a bit of earthiness and then red fruit, some raspberry and strawberry notes. Evident tannins make this structured and more than just the fruit. Nice integrated effort from a more challenging Oregon vintage. A bit pricy compared to other wines that are exceptional and offer more value but still a worthy effort.
