Accolades:
89 pts.- Wilfred Wong: "The 2013 A to Z simply says, "Pinot Noir!" Not fancy, but true-type, a candidate to pair with lightly grilled salmon. Medium garnet color; pleasing red fruit aroma, a honest expression of the fruit, medium depth; medium bodied, taut palate expression; dry, medium acidity, well balanced; pert, red fruit flavors, medium concentration; medium finish.

Tasting Notes:
The 2013 A to Z Pinot Noir leads with aromas of cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, developing to iris, blueberries, strawberries and minerals. A beautiful attack has vibrant red fruit flavors and floral notes, then deepens with hints of blood orange and blueberry jam. Ripe tannins are balanced by perfect acidity and the mid-palate reveals spice, tobacco and earth notes adding richness and complexity. The finish is quite long which allows all the elements of the wine to come together and show the intrinsic balance and complexity of the 2013 Oregon vintage.
