January 10, 2023 - Translucent and bright red cherry color, with immediately released upon opening candied red fruit and floral nose, with no appreciable bouquet complexity.
Light to medium very pleasant mouthfeel, sans overly extracted lusciousness, with balanced acidity and tannin components, giving way to a mid-palate sweet strawberry flavor that lingers to the generously long finish.
A very well made Oregon Pinot Noir that will likely not gain from extended cellaring. The wine has a very pleasing presentation that should well complement most overtly non-aggressively seasoned food pairings, and is exceedingly delicious on its own. -

July 18, 2022 - Just so yummy. Middle of the road "generic" O-noir, except it isn't - Floral and berry notes, medium bodied, ripe but not sweet or heavy. Long finish. Deftly executed. Very very nice.
It use to be a screaming "best buy" and while its still great value for your $, there is enough really good O-noir on sale at price points lower (its a bit hit or miss) that with a little carefully shopping you can find its quality equivalent closer to $20 if you are patient. Still, in a restaurant and want to order something you know will be good - can't miss with this.1 person found this helpful Comment -
