jkscully Likes this wine:
September 23, 2023 - Strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, plum, balsamic, bay leaves, bergamot, and rose petals. There’s lots of cinnamon on the finish and a faint hint of curry spices. Wet stones too. You can taste the whole cluster. Cranberry acidity. Nothing super sophisticated, but the acidity keeps this fresh and this is the sort of happy Oregon Pinot that I love to drink. Good match with salmon skewers and tuna with an Asian dressing. I’m happy with this for the price, though you can get better from Oregon. Fine as a Pnp or with about 20 minutes of air.

May 1, 2023 - As with my last bottle a couple of months ago, this one has a subtle nose of red fruits. While it has nice cherry and raspberry fruit on the palate, I sense that the fruit is starting to fad a bit. The wine is also very savory with good acidity and minerality. As I mentioned last time, I think it is best to enjoy this vintage now while the fruit is still good.

March 25, 2023 - The wine has a subtle nose of red fruits and it is showing very well right now. It has nice cherry and raspberry fruit, it’s very savory too with good acidity and minerality. While fully mature, it should last a couple more years in a cool cellar, but I think it is best to enjoy this vintage now while the fruit is still quite good.

December 28, 2022 - Notes are from memory as the wine is now consumed. It is certainly a mature Oregon Pinot with nice cherry and raspberry fruit. Good acidity and minerality. Not a plush wine as I believe the fruit has faded from its peak and it is now more European in nature.

May 7, 2022 - Absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful Pinot aromas on the nose. Hits the palate with full body and balance and the finish lasts a while. IMHO goes toe to toe with the best of burgundy.
