  By the glass at the BA lounge. Freshly opened wine.
  Really this felt like more of a Burgundian Pinot than the new world one we expected. Soft red color. Granted a touch more ripe and lower in acidity but all in check and in a nice harmony. Nice fruit, well made, nicely evolved. This is a very solid wine and a very nice surprise. Granted it lacked the depth of flavour and concentration on the palate but it's lightness gives it a charm of its own. 91 and this is like a top level well made single vineyard village Burgundy.

  In a good spot right now. This isn’t displaying any tertiary, aged characteristics, but everything is nicely integrated. Give this a good half hour plus in the glass for a slight bit of awkwardness to blow off.
  
  Overall a well made and very enjoyable wine. On the sleek side. I wasn’t stuck by its depth or character, but I only had a glass and a half and was also focused on chasing an exuberant 1-year-old around the house.
  
  This may continue to develop but I’m not convinced. Drink now or in the next couple years.

  On the soft side and quite restrained for a new world Pinot. Side red fruits , well ripe, good light use of oak and generally made with a light hand. Has a few harsh elements and especially on the finish. Shame really but maybe time would help albeit we wouldn’t bet money on it. 87-88

  A bright ruby color, nose is spicy, fruity and medium to light bodied, bright red fruits, raspberry. Will balance and improve with age.

  Oregon Pinot Barrel Auction: First Day Tastings...3 Stops+Dinner (Alexana Vineyards, Adelsheim, Penner Ash...Dinner at Bethel Heights): At Oregon Barrel tastings....first experience with this wine, opportunity to meet Alex Sokol Blosser and get a great primer on their wines
  
  Medium ruby color. Nose of red fruits, cedar and spice. Red fruits, strawberry and tea on the palate. Medium weight, nice layered finish. Obviously still young, will improve over next 2-3 years. Seems like it has the structure to go for a while. Very nice
