April 15, 2016 - Light in body, but nice intensity of flavor. Expressive nose of cola, violets, and strawberry fruit. Good structure, with fine tannins and bright acidity. Great with rich food (in this case, pork belly prepared with Asian spices).
January 20, 2016 - Outstanding QPR! Great complexity from an entry level Oregon PN. Should drink well for the next 5-7 years. One of my all time favorite Oregon Pinots under $25. Highly recommended.
October 1, 2015 - Pours a light red with nose of strawberry, cherry, rose hips and spice.
The flavor is somewhat dilute with indistinct red fruits mingling with spice. Acid is med- and tannins are well integrated and not noticeable. Built for immediate consumption it's a bit simple and lacks enough concentration to have me reaching for a second glass.
September 6, 2015 - These wines are not always available here so you have to grab them when you see them; my experience reflects those of others; light almost iridescent cherry color; rose garden nose; good structure with welcome tannins, medium - acidity and light body; raspberry, earth and trailing cranberry palate with moderate length; enjoyed this bottling more than I expected after seeing the color, wanting only for a little more acidity. The color and style would be a wonderful accent for a romantic evening or mid day meal. Will grab more next time.
August 20, 2015 - Muted to antiseptic on the nose. Very light red in the glass. Hints of cola. Very good structure and finish. Feel like this can open up more. When I tasted in store, I got stronger cherry cola and traditional Oregon Pinot mouthfeel.
August 7, 2015 - This wine had a bright, deep red center and very light purple rims. The medium intensity nose of red roses, red dust, and cola was attractive.
In the mouth, this wine was light/medium bodied with very light rounded tannins and good acidity.
While not particularly complex, this Pinot was competently made.
August 2, 2015 - Ruby red with aromas and flavors of cherries with some spice and tartness. with a bit of raspberry...nice clean finish
June 3, 2015 - Terrific stuff. Not sure if I have had any post Raney Pinots but I do night detect any change in style. Very pretty. Aromas of cherries and spice with a bit of raspberry. The palate is light and complex. Red fruit and and dried flowers. How in the world is this sub $20. Clean and pure. Classic Evesham Wood.
December 27, 2014 - Very light color in the glass - a bright, clear ruby red. Aromas of fresh red raspberries jump out of the glass with traces of leather, rose petal and spice. The wine feels thin on the palate but it has nice fruit flavors with good acidity and some tannin drying things out. A little simple maybe but this would be a killer with tuna casserole or anything with ham.
December 26, 2014 - Disappointingly this was tainted with brett. Bandaid aroma, bitter medicinal aftertaste.
