February 13, 2023 - Retail $45. Heavy bottle. I bought seven bottles of this wine from Last Bottle Wines back in 2016 (who buys seven bottles of anything?), this is the fifth bottle consumed, but only the second note written (who only writes one note for four bottles?). Well, while this seems to be on a downward trajectory, it still is alive and kicking (for now). Decent fruit, fantastic tartness, and a lengthy finish. While I have fond memories of this winery, those have faded a bit. Still, this is Very Good.

May 13, 2019 - Very little fruit, but still tannic. Really didn't taste like a Pinot from Oregon

March 21, 2018 - Consumed over 48 hours. It started closed, thin, and tart, but with good color (ruby not brick). This wine magically transformed overnight into a very different wine with an delightful aromas more typical of Willamette, flavors of darker berries, and a lingering finish. Clearly, this wine needs more time to develop in the bottle instead of in the glass.

January 6, 2018 - Dark cherry, blackberry, and a hint of cassis on the nose with a bit of heat. On the palate, both thin and slightly stewed, and lacking on the midpalate. Solid, but disappointing. thedrunkencyclist.com
