May 9, 2019 - Moslty Oregon and Burgundy (Kevin and Vicki's house): Balanced nose of earth and minerality. I'm surprised this youngster is drinking so well already, although it is clearly well-fruited. It would be cool to try this in 3-5 years.
May 4, 2019 - Salmon and Pinot Noir at Rocknrollers (Minneapolis, MN): Another good showing. Perfume and fragrant wine with underbrush, rose petals, minerals and nice red currants. Medium plus finish and balanced wine.
May 4, 2019 - Pinots and Salmon (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Pretty ruby red color. PNP, drank a glass over 45 minutes. A little funky on the nose, lovely red fruits, good purity, earth and soil, ripe berries, raspberry, cherry, sleek texture.
January 18, 2019 - Day 1: Excellent! Very fragrant and vibrant palate. This is my kind of Oregon Pinot Noir. Floral, spice, underbrush, subtle wood and cranberry. Very balanced and medium plus finish. On a pop and pour absolutely amazing. 93 points!
Day 2: Amazing nose of violets, strawberry, underbrush and cranberry. Palate is singing with underbrush, violets, cranberry and strawberry notes. Medium plus finish and great acidity. Really a wonderful wine. 93-94. Borderline on the 94 so we will go 93.8.
April 24, 2018 - Oregon Wine Geek Week Grand Tasting; 4/24/2018-4/26/2018 (University Club, St. Paul, MN): Tasting pour. My favorite of the Trisaetum grouping tonight - and one of my fav's from here anyway. Love the earthiness upfront on the nose. light medium body, sultry red fruits, deep and tasty with a satin texture.
