  May 10, 2010 - Drank with family and friends on Whidby Island. This really surprised me. Drinking perfectly at the moment, this Oregon Pinot has captured the beautiful depth of extraction, the perfect medium opacity of true pinot color, has a great complexity, and a medium finish. Midpalate is near perfect. This isn't going to get any better than it already is but it does seem to have plenty of life left in it. Drink and enjoy. This is one of the better pinots that I've had from Oregon and easily the equal of better known names.

  September 4, 2009 - Once again showed on the gamey / earthy side for me. An interesting contrast to the '02, which I much preferred.

  November 27, 2008 - I drank this on Thanksgiving, 2008. I had a cold so I'm not going to try to write a tasting note.

  June 15, 2008 - PTA Wine Tasting; 6/14/2008-6/15/2008 (Our House - Minnesota): Gamier, earthier than others on the table. As a result, wasn't among the group's favorites.

  May 9, 2008 - This is settling in nicely. None of the pungent notes on the nose that I found in earlier tastings, but rather a nice, rich perfume with hints of minerality. Earthy fruit, cola with nice acidity on the palate. Medium bodied, with a longish finish with some fine tannins. Probably approaching its peak drinking window at this point. While this is still a nice food wine, it's now also drinking well on its own.
