  April 6, 2014 - Fabulous! Just opened it presents a voluptuous nose, multi-flavored palate and silky smooth tannins. Fabulous wine. Beautiful nose. The cherry comes forward proudly - after 14 years! - fantastic. A 95 for sure. Awesome balance. Tasting it with a friend of mine that just opened the same bottle two weeks ago! Perfect example that Oregon Pinots can live much longer than people are willing to give them! No rough edges, clean. A perfect expression of the grape. Congratulations on a truly fine wine.

  October 18, 2009 - Looking at this one would not guess it's a pinot. Very, very dark red. Throwing a lot of sediment. Should have stood it up the night before.
  
  Soft nose of black cherries and forest floort. Very smooth on the palate, crisp acidity, more black cherries. Longish finish picks up a bit of tar and the cherry flavors take on a nice tartness.
  
  Very good.

  May 12, 2009 - Nose of matches, vintage cheese and instant coffee. Balanced mouth of plum, kiwi fruit and log cabin. Still quite a bit of life but no real high notes. Fairly long finish of boeuf bourguignon.
