This is a standout Oregon pinot. When I first tasted it a little over 3 years ago it started well and spiraled into a mess. Not now - it’s elegant and lively and completely gorgeous. So much strawberry - tart at first, then opening up and melding into red, ripe sun-warmed strawberry. Perfect balance of acid and spice. Soft and sensual in the mouth. Just a beautiful, luscious wine. Wow. Nicely done, Marcus.

Wow, how this wine has changed!! Explosive and expressive nose of rocks, florals and berries, and the palate delivers more of the same - rewarding, gripping, packed with red berries and finishing with crunchy cranberries. Silky but snappy on the mouthfeel, great bracing acidity that really carries the finish. My last bottle and I truly wish it was not - this wine has developed so beautifully and I can only imagine (now that I have no more) how much better it can become.

Just terrific. Aromatic with rose petals and cherry notes. Bright red fruits on the palate but nice rounded mouthfeel despite the freshness of the attack. Lovely Pinot—very Oregon Night two was all strawberries and cherry pit flavors. Still terrific. Great wine.

Shutting down, still open after a few hours. Hold last 2 bottles 5-10 years.
