this was a fantastic bottle of pinot. wonderful cherry fruit on palate, balanced with just the right amount of acidity. more fruit forward than other oregon pinot's, but yummy nonetheless

Definitely on the darker fruit side for a Pinot. Oak is more apparent than I would normally like, but that may integrate with a little more time in the cellar. Fairly ripe but has decent structure. Went well with slow roasted chicken and cornish hen.

At Sel de la Terre (Boston). Well made and balanced, nice acid content that allowed it to stand up well to food. Dark fruit and spice on the nose, a little raisiny initially, but it settled down over the course of dinner to reveal some earthy plum and current flavors and plenty of structure. Long finish.

Mild nose of strawberry, tobacco; fruit forward strawberry with a raisin/plum taste. Some oak, medium finish. Great silky mouthfeel.

Better than expected. Tastes like an Oregon pinot, and has a surprisingly long finish. For 16$ this is a steal.
