May 10, 2023 - As I speculated at the end of my last note, it seems it was in fact transitioning, but sadly not for the better. While it still a delicious and perfectly enjoyable wine and no longer has any has perception on opening, it has also become more linear and less beautifully nuanced; a wine to not think about while enjoying it. The good news is that anyone who has yet to try it will not miss those old layers and will likely enjoy it more than I.

November 28, 2021 - Shimmering ruby color with no bricking. PNP showed it a little hot and closed but that blew off after half an hour in the glass. After that, it’s forest floor and hints of sage and nutmeg on the nose that later evolve into dry Christmas tree. Beautifully balanced and medium weight. Seamless tannins. On the palate, bright strawberries, cherries, a few raspberries, a stray blackberry and a hint of cinnamon. Delicious. Within a couple of hours, some of the fruit evolves into fresh mushroom notes. The finish is upbeat but would be better if it weren’t so short.
It could just be starting to transition but I’m not experienced enough with Oregon Pinot to know how long to age my remaining bottle given the fast evolution in the glass.2 people found this helpful Comment
