Introduction
This was a tasting featuring the current releases with Alex Fullerton. These are well made wines with a style I sincerely appreciate. Well appointed with room to age and improve.
2017 Fullerton Wines Pinot Noir Rosé Three Otters 87 Points
USA, Oregon
Tasting pour. 60% Pinot Noir/40% Pinot Gris. The Gris comes through pretty dramatically with lots of citrus, acid and a just a big burst of fruit. It is a bit aggressive in style. Great if you really like a bold, fruity rose; maybe a bit much if you prefer a more subtle style with more nuance. My initial impression was fairly positve though.

2015 Fullerton Wines Chardonnay Three Otters 85 Points
USA, Oregon
Tasting pour. I don't know, this came off rather thin and watery. Just not much going on to me.

2014 Fullerton Wines Pinot Noir Three Otters 86 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Tasting pour. Light-medium body, fairly balanced, red fruits, simple, with a touch of spice. At sub $18 on sale the math works out as good QPR choice.

2014 Fullerton Wines Pinot Noir Momtazi Vineyard 90 Points

Tasting pour. Another step up, youthful and a bit tight on the nose, but showing class and poise. A nicely made Momtazi.

2015 Fullerton Wines Pinot Noir Momtazi Vineyard 91 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, McMinnville
Tasting pour. Despite its youth this was the gem of the group. Gentle swirling reveals a lovely nose of red berry and darker currants, medium body, Momtazi spices and character, round plush tannins and a refined finish. 91(+)pts.
