2017 J. Christopher Pinot Noir Lia's Vineyard

A good wine, although in a different style than I typically prefer. Underneath plum and raspberry flavors is a pronounced cola flavor that really adds to the complexity. We drank this with roasted chicken thighs and roasted potatoes and it was a very good match. A very well-made wine. As is usual in J Christopher wines, they take at least a year more of cellaring to become drinkable than most other Oregon Pinot Noir (5 years). This particular wine is +2 years and is just at the point of being really enjoyable.

Stood upright for a day before decanting, which revealed a little sediment. Quite funky nose at first that receded with exposure to air. On the palate: a strawberry and red cherry party with zippy acidity and silky tannins. Had a nice earthiness to it as well. Peaked between hours 2-4 and was still in good shape when the last glass was consumed.

Overall, a very well-balanced and elegant wine that’s drinking very well at the moment. Bought for $50 and am delighted I have two more to enjoy over the next couple of years.

Day 1: Diam 10. 13.5% alcohol. Cranberry, minerals, sour cherry, dried flowers, mushrooms and exotic spices. Elegant wine and medium plus finish. Good acidity. 93 points
Day 2: Showing more spice on day 2 with cranberry, sour cherry, dried leaves, mushrooms, stone, rhubarb and dust. Medium plus finish and good acidity. A touch less enjoyable but still solid. 92 points
Recommendation: Excellent Pinot for those looking for more balance and less in your face fruit.

Yet another very fine performance. All the typicity of high end SB - minerality, earthy shades, fanning out to orange blossom and closes with very smart but not over the top acidity.

Finally, it’s drinkable - and quite delightful. 7 years is a long time to wait for these wines to come into their own.

Needed about 3 hours to open up. Well constructed, lots of interesting notes, fairly complex for the price point.

I liked this a lot: very much on the affordable end of the spectrum and you get quite a lot for your relatively small outlay: bright ruby color, ripe cherry fruit, good acidity, a bit of smoke and spice. Perhaps the best of the low-end Oregon pinots that we have been sampling of late.

In a really good place right now, although I get a bit of that”greenness” that I always get from this producer. Which usually isn’t a good thing for me personally .

I certainly enjoyed it, but it just wasn’t a home run for me. Nice ruby color and fruity, while not being too sweet. Got a little oak at the end and I felt like there was a subtle peppery note (though no one else seems to mention do I am sure I’m just imaging it). In any event, I like it but don’t love it and so am a little disappointed. At the price, I prefer Ken Wright.

Open five hours. Moderately intense aromas (not as bright as on opening) of red fruit with floral notes and a cinnamon sweetness, dry soil. Dry, with moderate to elevated fresh acidity, modest tannins, medium-bodied, 14% abv. Moderately intense mostly red fruit on the palate, some fresh bitterness on the savory, moderately long finish. I'd like to try this with ham.

Really in a nice spot now, rosehip, bright red fruits that have some evolution, still fresh and tangy, worth cellaring this until now

Meh. Still not really ready to drink. I doubt it will ever get there. Just not my style of PN.
