September 1, 2014 - Worthless pinot. Insult that this came out of OR in what was otherwise a good vintage. I had a half case of this and only two bottles remaining which I will use to cook with going forward. Wine lacks any structure and absolutely no balance. Color looks like a mix of mud and wet paint. No tannis and flat fruit.
January 3, 2014 - Ruby red with aromas of red berries...balanced, clean, smooth with rich flavors of red cherries and some spices. Nice clean and dry finish.
December 15, 2013 - A cloudy light ruby red with aromas of red fruit, earthiness and smoke/tar. It was pleasant tasting with a little spiceness.
August 24, 2013 - Started with amazing notes of cherries and died after 30 minutes
July 7, 2013 - This bottle was way past its prime. No real flavor.
September 28, 2012 - No notes, so no score. Very light in color, but long on flavor, smoke and fruit. Nice bottle for the money. Good with food.
September 14, 2012 - Rounded and soft red fruit flavors with sweet, not stinky earth. Mellow tannins, very easy to drink.
August 7, 2012 - Austere pinot noir but enough fruit to keep one interested. Enjoyed the bottle. Nice nose and good balance.
April 19, 2012 - Mountains to Metro (Heritage Ballroom in the Governor Hotel): Pretty nasty again... this was earthy, but more like its bretty. Funky fruit on the palate, with mushrooms and some funk that I like, and there's still some red fruit balancing it out. Oak funk on the finish. Some bitter, puckering tannins as well. This is funky and thin... just not too good; something may be off with this bottle, but it's not like I exactly liked this last year either.
April 15, 2012 - I had this with another Pinot (same price range) and enjoyed this one over the other, however even on sale at 25 a bottle I don't think I'd purchase this again.
