Garnet in the glass. Nose is expressive, with pepper, raspberries, strawberries compôte, vanilla. Medium acidity, fresh, red berries-loaded, secondary notes of forest floor, bell peppers; medium tannins, long finish with oak, white pepper, and raspberries. Better than the first bottle I had two years ago - very Oregon-like which means not terribly elegant but mostly fruit-driven. A good wine, but nothing terribly exciting.

Opened for dinner, finished 2.5 hours later in the evening. Light in color. Nose shows soil, hints of wood and strawberry. On the palate strawberry, watermelon, raspberry, slight hints of wood and cola. Decent mix of acids and tannins. OK but not wowed. Got on a flash sale and decent value low $20s.

Light ruby color. Nose was muted at first but then opened up after a good swirl to reveal primary red berries notes. Fresh and light, this shows youthful acidity, raspberry coulis, a hint of white pepper, earthy notes (mushrooms?), and mellow tannins. The ending is unfortunately rather short and shows light notes of wood. Overall I was expecting more from this wine. It’s not a bad drink but nothing to seek out either.

A pleasant fruity pinot. Mild tannins. Good QPR, but doesn't stand out in any way.
