I've been in a sub- 13.5% ABV kick lately, and this beauty came in at 13.2%. Darker than the last OR pinot I had the other week. Right now it's mostly fruit - pomegranate and raspberries - but not over the top with cola and oak flavors. Kinda pure fruit. It's balanced. Silky with a nice acid backbone. If this was $100, more reviews would put the score in the 90s. I'm not sure what this will be like in 5 years or 10, but it's delicious now. I'll be buying more at $20 in my LWS.

A nice go to Oregon Pinot, always juicy, fresh and balanced without sweetness. nice weight and texture. not the most distinctive Pinot but very drinkable. Nice value

Bright fruits, very smooth but no sense of terroir. With the kids and spinach, pine nut, Gruyere-stuffed pork tenderloin and risotto with asparagus tips and Kalamata olives. $19 King Soopers.

Good. Fruity. Lacks a long finish but is very good for the price. Thanks, Costco.
