April 18, 2023 - Lovely on first day. Smooth, ready to drink cherry Had with chicken and Brussels sprouts.
March 26, 2023 - Took a bit to open up but after 45 minutes it started to fill out nicely. Fruit has subsided but still very enjoyable.
December 23, 2022 - Still in a good window now, but drink up because I don't think it will last a whole lot longer.
May 8, 2022 - Drinking superbly and at peak, highly recommend and I disagree with the closing date on the above CT drinking window - with proper cellaring this has years to go. Drink or hold but probably not much further upside with further cellaring. Would benefit from a short 30-60 minute decant. Dark purple, no bricking, well balanced, good mouth feel, surprisingly full bodied and muscular, complex and with a lovely medium length aftertaste. Nose of dark stone fruit, raspberry, smoke with a lighter vanilla and almost perfumey rose petal. Flavor profile of dark cherry, plum, blueberry and a hint of black pepper.
May 2, 2021 - Very pleasant, generous wine. Warmer, riper, chewier and richer than I would have expected from Oregon.
August 9, 2020 - In a good place right now. Really opened up after 30 minutes. Darker tones.
June 2, 2020 - exceptional wine that was smooth, light berry and a bit of leather and tobacco. Maybe some light stone fruit. seemed richer than other pinot Noir's from the same region.
It was so good we opened another
May 15, 2020 - Beautiful pinot, paired with pan sautéed sockeye salmon and went perfectly.
January 11, 2020 - Blueberry sweetness of blackberry good body Drink now
September 3, 2019 - Tasted alongside 2016 which was slightly more acidic & tannic but has the potential to evolve like the ‘15. This wine is in a great place right now - medium+ body, well-balanced, lingering finish. Perfect Pinot for the Fall.
