Pleasant Pinot, better balanced than most Oregon pinots. Controlled red fruits, medium acidity, medium tannins. Not complex, nor distinctive, but pleasant

Very well balanced with delicious cherry, raspberry fruit, not too much, and velvet tannins, with a little earth and mineral note. Try again in a few years to se if it gets even better.

Decanted >1 hour. Nice ripe red fruit with cola and spice. In the mouth, a bit of earthiness with well rounded fruit. Very nice wine drinking very well right now.

Need to research Symbion vineyard as this is really good! Obviously Steve is an exceptional wine maker but I still would like to taste more wine from this vineyard.

Nose - leather, cocoa powder, allspice, hints of some fruits
Palate - dark fruit - plum, black cherry, blackberry. Some chocolate notes, not as spicy as the aroma suggested. Good linger with balanced acidity.

Fills the palate with red berry fruit. Very round. Enough balancing tannins to provide grip. Good finish

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Soft and elegant red cherry with moderate weight and length, good+ balance. Good young.
