A darker fruit, heavier style. Lacks the herbaciousness of some of the lighter, more elegant Oregon Pinots. But trades that for depth, forest floor and darker earth notes. 13.8% ABV. I feel like I opened this too early. Needs time. Will try to hold off on opening my next bottle for a few years.

My favorite of three: Origin Series Dundee, the North Valley Reserve and this one. All 2016. Elegant, wild strawberry, high-tonal lift that that the other two just didn't have.
