  This was a delicious wine, black cherry, and low acidity. I was afraid it was past it's drinking window, but actually it was perfect

  Just opened a bottle and had with salmon. But, I kept half for the next day and it was much better, richer the second day. Nice Dundee Hills funk in the background.

  Surprisingly (I mean, great winemaker and vintage, but as I understand it this is made of grapes Maresh buys from around and basically the entry level pinot he makes), this was one of the best oregon pinot noirs I have tasted. Singing in all the right places.
  
  Medium bodied, great structure, lean, silky but very fresh (more like many of the 2010s in that regard). Sea salt, cranberry, licorice, forest berries, smoke, matsutake mushrooms, forest floor, just a hint of vanilla in that elusive fragrance dimension when you open a cupboard ful of spices which soon evaporates into the kitchen air. Deep and philosophical, but still so very approachable. I wish I had a dozen more!

  Terrific wine ... light color, bright acidity, spice, black cherry and a finish that goes on and on and on.
