Good bottle right off the bat. Showed nice floral aromatics with spicy red berries. The palate is light-medium bodied and full of red cherries, raspberries, and spice. Finishes with great acidity that makes for a food friendly bottle. Went well with duck and grilled AK halibut combo. Consumed over 4 hour period and didn't change much.

I served this delicious, refined Pinot Noir with mushroom pasta, scalloped potatoes, and caprese salad (main theme: black pepper) and it worked great with each dish. The initial scent of vanilla blew off with time, leaving black cherry and a hint of raspberry, and the flavors were similar, along with some delicious, subtle spice. This had considerable power but it's well-balanced, too, with nice acidity, a touch of earthiness, and a nice long finish. Certified sustainable by LIVE.

Much better than previous bottle. Light color but full balanced taste. A very nice Eola-Amity region pinot.

Heavy, earthy, and not like most Oregon Pinots. Pretty disappointing, with no cola/cherry/tea-type flavors. Very odd.

A bit thin, tart, acidic. Drinkable, but not too enjoyable.
