April 7, 2024 - Couldn't make its mind up. The wine went through mamy phases over the course of the evening and never really settled into itself. Difficult to tell if it's time to finish off this vintage or see where it goes in a couple of years.
That being said, the last glass was the best glass.
91 when it was on. 88-89 when it was furled. -

October 29, 2021 - Decant 30 min; ruby; faint orange zest, medium bodied, dark berry with some tart cranberry; fruit fading into brambly finish at first, but fruit did increase with time; worked surprisingly well with lamb chops; feels like fruit won’t hold up much longer; drink up;

January 10, 2021 - Pleasant nose of cherry and faint cola. Taste leans a bit toward red fruit side. Pretty simple; very little structure and fairly short finish. Unremarkable.

October 5, 2020 - Tart cherries, plums, cranberries on the nose with some secondary gunsmoke and tertiary cola notes. Bright acidity, medium-low alcohol, and low tannin means this is an easy drinker but not lacking in complexity or length at all. Very enjoyable Oregon Pinot.
