Black raspberry more than black cherry on the palate, I think…Good acidity has kept this a very drinkable wine. Not too complex as others have noted, but the savory palate keeps me on board: not a CA fruit bomb by any stretch…

Medium ruby red with red fruit nose. Cherry fruit is present but subtle. Very sweet light tannins reminiscent of other Oregon PN like an Argyle. Good match for grilled salmon and grilled chicken. My last bottle of a six pack, the previous ones maybe showing more fruit. Solid but not great effort.

popped and poured. Rich spicy berry aroma. Restrained, well integrated flavors of cherry, tobacco, green leaf. Pleasant cherry finish with notes of vanilla. Good backbone, some complexity. This has a tiered structure that I tend to associate more with cabernet, but the delicacy and flavor profile is all pinot noir. Good value.

berries and cola, more California than Oregon. Odd aftertaste. May need to open up a little.
