Ripe black cherry with some woodsy spice, far more fresh than I'd expect from 2003 Willamette Pinot. Great fruit throughout, even if slightly simple. Purchased from Broadley pre-release. I also bought some of the wine Bergstrom made from the Broadley Vineyards, which I adored from barrel but didn't enjoy once it got into the bottle.

dark cherry nose; still potent bright black cherry and rasperry flavors, good minerality and acidity; fruit and mineral stays in your mouth; good match with mushroom/parsnip risotto, but also able to match with the pulled pork with bbq sauce; quite nice

wonderfully balanced potent black cherry and raspberry with fine tannins and bright acidity; the fruit has staying power and yet it remains ethereal; one of my favorite pinots this year;

Aged wine but cellared properly. Flavorful but elegant, no evidence of being past its prime. Surprisingly drinkable for a 15 year old wine.

Thin, acidic and unpleasantly bitter. Seemed very under ripe, did not enjoy at all.
