  • The fresh, medium-high to highly aromatic nose delivers cherry, tea leaf, beet root, earth, and raspberry aromas which are joined by lovely spice notes on the light-to-mid weighted palate. It's supported by fine, dusty textured tannins and fresh, vibrant acidity. Spice notes linger through to the finish, with very good length.

  • Second round refrigerated tasted good

  • Sourced from numerous vineyards throughout the Willamette Valley, this medium-to-deep ruby Pinot favors the dark fruit side of the spectrum, with a core of Luxardo cherries and blueberries that is accented with notes of lavender, loamy earth, black tea and baking spices. For a Pinot, this is relatively full-bodied and rustically tannic. Fresh, judiciously oaked and without alcoholic heat (13.5%), it stays solid on the mid-palate but the pervasive astringent tannins carry all the way through the medium-length finish. This particular bottle was uncorked and poured. Even though it improved with an hour of aeration, more time in the cellar is what this wine really needs. If you can defer popping the cork until the second half of this decade it will very likely reward your patience. Drink 2025-2030.
