Fairly earthy and minerally, with cherry and tart raspberry flavors. Burgundian in style. Definitely above average for entry-level Oregon Pinots from this vintage. Will be at its best in a couple of years, maybe.

Big nose, with light fruit in abundance, and a bit of earth which showed up after the first few minutes. Very juicy in the mouth, lots of red fruit and admirable balance. The acidity is accompanied by some tannic grip, also just enough. Oak and heat are light. I like it...

Lovely, rich and vibrant. Not as voluptous as the BH Casteel pinot. but a great match for our Thanksgiving turkey!

Probably over the hill. Left it too long. Fruit gone, acidity remains.

Very good Oregon pinot. Paired well with food.
