Slight rose-colored bricking. Floral and herbal notes on the nose. Flavors are predominantly earthy/mushroom/savory, with very little red fruit, unusual for an OR Pinot. Nice with traditional thanksgiving fare, but overall a bit faded and a little past its prime. I consistently find that this vineyard is the least age-worthy of the KW portfolio.

Something was wrong with this bottle. There was an immense amount of sediment and the bottom of the bottle had a kind of pink sludge. Most of the debris was captured through decanting but the wine was "off." It was cloudy, had a vegetal smell, and tasted musty. Didn't taste corked or oxidized (the cork was fine) so I don't know what happened.

Very nice, at the peak of its taste. Had a very robust and earthy mouth feel, with mellow fruit on the aftertaste - not overly forward. A little excess sediment, but not a deal breaker

Very straight forward high end Pinot, except for soy sauce on the nose. High quality. Nice balance. Pdq 92
