  Interesting and tough to judge because I really like the aromas (unmistakeably Oregon pinot, appealing) and it has good initial fruit/freshness and mid palate but something about the finish just doesn't quite come together. Can't put my finger on it, but ends a little disjointed instead of a pure, elegant Pinot-esque finish. Trying alone, so perhaps better served with food?

  This was a nice little drinkable number. Overall a very elegant, floral type of wine. Although I have to say I'm pretty shocked at how advanced this wine is for its relative young age. I mean I realize that 6 years old is not a young Pinot noir but I've had enough to know that this seems a little advanced for that number. I would guess more like a 10 or 12-year-old wine.
  Nevertheless it was still very pretty and had a nice silky mouth feel and a little bit of fresh raspberry fruit and so forth. I think the price tag (>$50) is a little excessive for what it really is but oh well. I don't want to sound too negative because in the end I'd really did just enjoy the wine.

  I’m not a Pinot fan but the wife really liked this wine. Nothing bad I just like big and bold, but I could see through the wine. Taste flavor all were good just to light for me. Light fruit strawberry raspberry light bodied not very dry smooth. Some sweetness but not jammy.
