  Good expression of a Willamette valley Pinot noir and an excellent value for the quality. Will definitely be drinking again and often!

  Just arrived from a berserker day order, popped, decanted, and enjoyed with steak. Feels too early to rate and give substantial notes, other to say that I like what I see and I'm eager to revisit in 3-6 months

  Another masterpiece from one of the most reliable Willamette Valley bottlings. Absolutely stunning and nearly perfect in every way. The Old Eight Cut Is one of those wines that feels like a gift to humanity because It's still only $35 a bottle and easily hits in the same weight class As many other $50 to $100 bottles of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley.
  
  As a brand new release, it's already drinking soft and supple but still has a firm healthy structure that will carry it through many years if you choose to lay it down. But you can open it today and enjoy with zero regret. I would just say maybe make sure to decant it for a half hour or so.
  
  Lots of brambly black fruit and sweet blue fruit mixed up with hints of earthy undertones, and a little barrel spice to sweeten the pot. Silky, granular but round tannins and a perfectly integrated acid structure. The finish just lasts forever with waves of mocha, berry syrup, violets, sandalwood, hazelnut, and chalk dust.
  
  Delicious, hedonistic, compelling, complex, thought-provoking, joyous, delightful, I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, you should track some of this down and get some for yourself.
