  April 8, 2019 - Enjoyed with the last Oregon crab of the season (topping a Caesar - delicious!). Holding up very well, well balanced, but heading down. We’ll try last bottle in 6 months. Fruit balanced nicely with tannins.

  July 27, 2017 - In the past 16 months this wine has not moved much. The nose remains bright with cherry, cola and vanilla. On the palate, a bit of Dr. Pepper frames the bright cherry and warm vanilla. The inviting smooth mouthfeel makes for an easy drinking wine, but the profile is linear without much complexity. Some sediment. 14.1% alc. With roasted salmon and a deconstructed nicoise salad. Recommended.

  March 24, 2016 - The rim is ruby red that then shades to near candy apple red at the core. The nose is full of bright cherry notes and smooth warming vanilla and oak elements. The palate tracks the nose delivering bright and prominent cherry flavors. The mouthfeel is smooth and easy with a long finish. However, the wine lacks much depth and comes off very linear. Some sediment. 14.1% alc. With broiled salmon under sun-dried tomato-olive tapenade. Recommended.

  January 6, 2014 - A little bigger pinot with nice acidity. The wine opened up the next day. Typical of most Ayres. They seem to need to breath.
