USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
Sit down tasting. Faintly floral with bright lemon to start. This has intriguing saline features with Good+ density and good length. I think more will emerge in short order.

Sit down tasting. An even more spiced start with a good array of red cherry and berry aromas and flavors, followed by some black and blue berry hints. More dense than Hyland, more chewy and meaty in the middle, ending with a broader finish, too. Very good already, but give this a few years to really shine.
Sit down tasting. Also rich but this is even more dense than JJ but also burly in the middle. Certainly good structure here, but not quite as well balanced as either Hyland or JJ. Better from 2027 -.
USA, Oregon, The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater
Sit down tasting. Black cherry and plum, some red cherry, some sweet + savory spices coming and going. Meaty throughout, and mostly well balanced with a bit of grip in the middle. Good now, better in a few years time.
Sit down tasting. Baked apple, mango, dried apricot roll. Nicely fresh and bright, making it seem almost demi-sec despite a fairly intense 100+ g/l of RS.

Sit down tasting. Spiced start with so much red berry, touches of red cherry on nose and palate. Elegant, lithe textures. Very good balance already.
