    March 2, 2022 - initial thoughts….
    Well made wine.
    Briary stemmy on the nose… lots of candied red vines lushness and primary raspberry Chambord-like fruit flavors on the palate with bright acidity and a fairly long finish. Drinks fresh and I can see why it’s popular.
    With time in the glass the fruit is less prevalent , replaced by spicy cola notes. Went great with the beef bourguignon.

    December 8, 2021 - Outstanding Oregon Pinot Noir! Beautiful aromas of raspberry jam, cassis, baking spices and intense purple flowers. Red and black fruit flavors with hints of spices and earth. Medium bodied and enough tannin that gives this wine some heft. There is a lushness to this wine. Love the producer.

    January 13, 2021 - Wonderful when opened on 1/13/21, even better when finished on 1/14/21. Lots of fruit, enough tannic backbone to keep it from being at all flabby, just a delicious wine that I would love to have lots more of.
