June 25, 2016 - Earthy, interesting, balanced fruit with acid, complex, surprised us, opened up with more nuances, enjoyed with oysters, mahi and saffron rice, would drink again.

July 22, 2015 - Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: Bright ruby color. Nose of red cherries, currants, mixed together with bright red flowers and an interesting herbal kick. Fresh acid, medium-light tannins, bright red cherries, red currants, tangy but smooth fruit. Some tobacco, spiced coffee, roses, potpourri, some cherry wood and fallen leaves. Lively, crisp and clean. Drinking nicely right out of the bottle, great for early drinking. A blend of four estate vineyards, aged in 20% new French oak.

May 12, 2015 - Wines of Oregon at 18 Reasons (18 Reasons, SF): Summary: It’s fine. I don’t find it that exciting or delicious.
Score: Around 8
----------------------
Full Sensory:
Clear, day-bright. medium-bright ruby, light + concentration. No gas/sediment, moderate tears.
Nose: Moderate intensity, clean. Reductive, plummy, red fruit. Raspberry (baked), hint of barnyard and burnt toast (brief memory of baking bread, slightly toasty aromas).
Youthful.
Not complex.
Palate: Medium minus body, medium alcohol 13.5%? [got it - 13%]. Overall, tart. In balance (acid-driven). Some grippy tannins (light plus).
Straightforward.
Moderate minus finish.
