Community Tasting Note

• SGates Likes this wine: 93 points

  March 7, 2015 - PnP to start birthday dinner. Went great with first courses of Salad, Scallops and steak tar tar. Wife really liked this and isn't usually a Pinot fan, so that tells you it isn't the typical Oregon Pinot I buy (price says so too). Less strawberry and more syrah like, cherry, pepper, spice flavors w/ a floral nose. Will be looking for more Keefer Ranch wines in the future.

  Really glad you enjoyed it.

As for some different Oregon Pinot's, if you happen to come along some Bethel Heights or Cristom (Eola Hills area near Salem), they are much earthier and closer to the Cali's. Enjoy!
