January 1, 2023 - 2022 New Years Eve: Drank a small glass over 1 hour. Leather, tree bark, lots of damp rich earth. Clearly Oregon pinot and drinking beautifully.
December 31, 2022 - New Years Eve Celebration (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Medium red color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour. Just lovely, as expected. Beautuful Oregon pinot nose filled with a perfume of spiced raspberry and Christmas spices, cherry and earth. The palate is elegant, medium plus bodeid, red berries and cherry, Christmas spice, earth, pomagranate, iron and mineral notes. Loved it, in a beautiful place. Should go for some time.
December 2, 2022 - Fully mature red fruits with braised meat and corresponding spice. Good weight, just finishes with less depth than it starts. No further upside.
April 17, 2021 - It was still drinking beautifully!
January 22, 2021 - One of my last bottles from variety of their vineyards from a visit long ago. Very enjoyable.
November 28, 2019 - Average Pinot. If you can get it at a good price go for it. Don’t overpay or drink in restaurant. As another poster said just a straight down the fairway Oregon Pinot.
October 6, 2019 - Marionberry, damp earth, funk
February 2, 2019 - Oregon Pinot Noir vs. California Pinot Noir (Minneapolis): Day 1: Wow! Amazing complexity and vibrant nose. The favorite wine of the group. Cranberry, spice, rose petals and earth. Medium plus finish and good acidity. This wine has many years ahead based on where it is now. Drink now to 2024. 94 points
Day 2: Amazing. I highly recommend experiencing this wine on day 2. Wonderful nose of cranberry, forest floor, rose petals, spices and wafer. Medium plus finish and acidity balances out this amazing wine. Could be the best Pinot from Oregon for me since the epic 2007 White Rose. 95 points
Day 3: Still amazing. This wine has a long life ahead.
Recommendation: Drink now to 2024. This is one of the best Pinots I have ever tasted from Oregon!!!
October 15, 2018 - Oregon... (Spoon and Stable): Consistent with previous notes. This was very much St. Innocent in profile.
October 14, 2018 - Monthly Tasting Group: An Embarrassment of Oregon Riches (Spoon & Stable, Mpls, MN): Small pour. Well, it will come as no surprise to anyone that I simply adore this wine. Two words for you: purity and pristine. That sums it up. This has such inner beauty and power in the effortless way of a ballerina. Pristine red fruits, brilliantly earthy, strawberry, ahhhh.
