January 29, 2022 - A beautiful wine and one of the best Oregon Pinots I can remember having. Ripe red raspberry fruit in perfect balance with medium acidity and light-medium body with well integrated oak. I’m sure this could make older bones, but I actually think this will be at its best in 2-3 years when the fruit is still vibrant but develops more complexity and secondary flavors. Bravo Marcus.

May 7, 2021 - Pop n pour after a couple hours this clear and Clean 2016 is crunchy fresh showing red berries and cherries , minty and forestry notes on the nose, this is really bright and nice and complex. strong aromatic flavors but clocking in at only 13.5%, this is still concentrated on the palate and really nicely balanced with fruit and earth. Lovely Pinot noir expression that drinking very well right now.

March 25, 2020 - Medium/light weighted
Savory, sweet, stoney black cherry, red alpine strawberry, red currant
Red cherry acidity (balanced/medium)
Clean sappy fruit
Smooth finish with a little spice
Quaffable, but not overly simple. A light touch, but slightly more touch and riper than the Kelley Fox wines I tried a months prior. Look forward to my next bottle in 5YRs? Can go longer...
