  Popped and poured, as the basketball had started and didn’t plan. Black cherry and black raspberry fruit, with spice notes more muted than prior tastes, and didn’t note any smoky notes either. Still sits in that perfect seam of savory and sweet that I love about Oregon PN…well balanced acidity, and tannins well-integrated. I see others’ notes saying time to drink up, and I suspect that’s right: I used to get the ‘complex’ vibe from this one, over the other Le Cadeau wines, and didn’t notice that this time. Paired with cheese board, and went especially well with the Brillat Savarin (from Burgundy?)…

  Dark red color, cherry fruit nose (decanted 90 min B4 dinner, cherry and cranberry fruit, tart, lt medium body, medium length tart finish. The Cote'Est we drank a month ago was a much superior wine. It had much deeper flavors, heavier weight, long smooth finish with none of the tart acidity.

  After having an off (green & vegetal) 1st bottle, I was worried about my remaining 2. All 3 purchased direct from winery & kept in same conditions since arrival. Bottle 2 & 3 were fantastic. Definitely mature with great spice & secondary flavors, but fruit was well balanced, bright & in a good place.

  Opened my last bottle tonight. Surprisingly tight and tart with plenty of structure and grip. I expected a soft, supple wine and got something very different. Mostly cranberry flavors with a touch of earth and spice.
