  Definate bricking at this showing, but decline not in question here.
  Medium Ruby in colour, medium weight with a heady berry nose.
  Great mouth presence, graceful and caressing, perhaps due in part to the 12% alcohol rating. Berry laden, with soft cherry tones meshed in a 20+ second finish.
  Seamless, nice experience, my last though.
  very almost Chorey Les Beaune.

  Lively and fresh with bright fruits and good acidity. Distinct tartness beyond sour cherry, surprising but not entirely unpleasant.

  Didn't show particularly well this night against other Oregon Pinots. Nose was soft black cherry, smoke, but surprisingly tight given its age. Fished a bit clipped and not altogether pleasant.

  No formal notes. Opened and served immediately. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nice nose of potpourri, black berries, black cherries and a bit of dustiness. Flavors of Bing cherries and black berries with a dash of bitters on the medium to long finish. Medium acidity and tannins, medium to full body. Just a bit bigger than I typically like in my Oregon Pinot Noir but a well made wine nonetheless. Drink or over the short, maybe medium term. NOTE: just a tiny bit of sediment on the last pour if you care to decant. PURPLE adds "Benefited from air time. I still think it had a dark color, dark fruit, judicious use of oak. 90 pts"

  Strawberries and earthy nose. Nice bottle, pretty and bright cherry flavors, very balanced, still fresh with a long finish.
