December 25, 2016 - Truly love this Pinot Noir it shows that given the time to mature and coming from an exceptional vintage in Willamette help age this wine to show the craft from the wine maker. Open and decanted for 3 hrs and drink over 2 hr period. The wine is certainly approachable now with a few more years in the cellar. The color still dense and full of life, you find the age was in the nose with raising and wood with little tannins that dissipates quickly, the palate is vibrant with cherry and mountain raspberry that layers the palate with strikingly reticent and dense finish that aging give it.

Fairly light, very pleasant. Some acidity to add zip.
Enjoyable. -

Great balance between tannins and acidity, moreover, the acidity frames the fruit quite nicely. With the combination of caramel and strawberries, the finish is total strawberry shortcake. It has the potential to be a very BIG wine, but the acidity keeps it grounded. Nice bottle, and for the price ($13.00) a screamin' deal.
