This is a fabulous wine with still bright fruit, balance and plenty of structure, can easily go another 5+ years. If drinking now, recommend decanting for a couple hours to shed the youthfulness.

I enjoyed this wine, believe the price is right to be an every day Pinot. Terrific nose, dark color, fruit is forward and balanced and good finish. No significant low point for this wine.

Very earthy on the nose, with lots of dirt, leaves and twigs. Underneath was sour cherry and raspberry. And the end was some pepper. Soft on the palate with a nice balance between the earth and fruit.

Random tasting in the Willamette Valley with Ken: More mild, pleasing soft upfront fruit here. Soft on the palate, but again showing some off balanced acidity. The finish is tart, dry, puckering, and really really bitter. Not a pleasing finish texturally at all.

Had the 2013 last night. That was better. This is just a bit on the downhill side of its best
