  A little earth, black raspberry. Good acidity and medium length finish.

  Wow! Has this wine changed with just a couple of weeks of rest. Great nose, full flavors. A keeper!
  
  First tasting (12/9/2020): Rather deeply colored for an Oregon Pinot. Undeveloped nose and in taste an enigma. If sampled blind, I would NOT have guessed it a Pinot, more like a cool-climate Grenache or even Syrah. Quite high in acid with a moderate amount of tannins in the end, plus a slight tingle in the aftertaste. Definitely younger tasting than 2015. Time in the bottle will be its friend.

  Pretty dark in the glass. Definitely syrah like nose noted from the other tasters. Cassis, blackberry compote, licorice etc. Showing little bricking but has the reminets of what was a more purple colored rim at one time. Mouth feel pretty much dark fruit oriented, rich robust and not traditionally pinot noir of course. If you want that go to Burgundy. But enjoyable nonetheless. Bit of alcohol heat but not obtrusive.

  A pleasantly pungent nose of tart strawberry, rhubarb and blackberry to go with Sweetarts and damp underbrush. Medium bodied and mouth-filling at the same time, the balanced acid contributes a slightly coarse element to the structure, which is framed by sturdy tannin. The flavors are a bit sweeter than the nose, offering muddled blackberry, blueberry and raspberry to go with mild cedar and tobacco. There is discernible smoke on the finish. This will only get better over the next five, if not ten, years.
