November 20, 2023 - Quite enjoyed this. It’s not a light or pretty style, fruit is a bit stewed and dark. Not bad though. 3.5-
June 25, 2023 - Incredible. So complex, yet soooo accessible. Concentrated cranberry, cherry, pomegranate. Tea of hibiscus petals and crushed damp herbs. Perfectly concentrated without being overextracted. Beautiful length and acidity. Very subtle spice from the oak that barely reveals itself. If you want to introduce someone who is interested (but uninitiated) to fine wine...share this bottle with them. When I taste pinot like this, I feel relieved... you don't need to hemorrhage money on Burgundy to drink world-class pinot !! (not blind)
June 22, 2023 - Earthy, cherry, raspberry and a touch of smoke. Would be interesting to taste this again in a few years.
May 4, 2023 - Nice burgundy style but a little thin……
December 15, 2022 - Very nice, restrained style of pinot. Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, spice, violet and orange peel.
December 9, 2022 - Medium/light body. Elegant style - light and slightly dry with nice fruit on the palate - cranberry, violets and bark. Nice acidity on the finish with mild+ tannins. Classic Oregon Burgundian style Pinot Noir.
October 23, 2022 - A really great Pinot. Looking forward to cellaring my second bottle for a few more years.
September 3, 2022 - An enticing mix of red berries, earth, and spice, and a finish that goes the distance. Beautiful Willamette Valley elixir.
February 15, 2022 - Needs air - then it arrives. Tasted over two days, much better on day 2 - even day 3.Very fresh cool, restrained, yet with the sexy, creamy feel os af US Pinot. Minerals, herbs here - and very clear fruit.
January 24, 2022 - The great thing about this wine is the earthen profiles of flavor that rage and distribute length to the complex finish.
Very interesting wine.
Considerable sediment, though young, which signifies an unfiltered product, but this was a great example of quality. I would love to visit the Willamette Valley some day soon to see these fine vineyards.
Sip after sip this was worth the dollars for the experience.
Very well made.
If you enjoy dry and notes of fungus, decomposed leaves from an ancient forest with damp spices, muted fruit, earth focus, then this will be one for your palate.
