Pretty mundane stuff. We get it in order to have benefits at their wine bar here. Otherwise, I simply wouldn't purchase or drink it. Plenty of other superior choices at this price point.

Aromas of red berries presented as this poured a translucent brick red. This medium bodied well balanced Classic Pinot with good structure. Flavors of raspberry and bing cherries were complimented with a hint of earth/moss. Strongly recommend.

"Bigger" meaning more fruit, more medicinal, and more of that weedy earthiness. I like the baby better, but all in there is something about Stoller's style I don't enjoy.

From the estates older Pinot vines, predominately Pommard clones, aged in French oak for 12 months. Scented with notes of red cherry and raspberry with baking spice and sandalwood nuances, incense, floral pastilles and hints of mineral, walnut and orange oil. The palate is medium bodied, framed with moderate/moderate+ acidity and tannins that are balanced. Flavors of cherry and raspberry are laced with baking spice, pine resin, incense, smoky mineral, orange oil and bergamot with hints of earth and cola. The finish is smooth, relatively light but elegant.
Half of the family liked this better than the Domaine Drouhin. More expressive on the nose. Brighter cherry fruit and spice. Both excellent expression of the Dundee Hills fruit.

Retail $50. I first tasted this wine last year at this time during my annual blind tasting of American Pinot Noir. I liked it then, as I do now: fairly translucent in the glass with aromas of black cherry, earth, and cardamom. The palate is balanced with fresh cherry fruit, vanilla, and an over-arching tartness that defines this wine. I was a fan of this Pinot a year ago, but I think I like it even more a year in. thedrunkencyclist.com

Super smooth tannins and velvety palate with a great weight. Layers of bright and dark cherries with a nice savory herbal component. I’m going to save my last one for a couple more years.

The Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $50. Funky on the nose but good fruit and balance on the palate. Perfectly tasty, average finish. Very Good to Excellent. 89-91 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

Still a lot of cherry but also some mulberry fruits on the aromas. Some earth as well but also violet floral notes.

Drinking well now. Cherry and earth on the nose and some spice and medium tannins join the fruits on the palate.

Decent. Dirty Oregon soil and hidden fruit. It opened after about 50 minutes of air.

Uncomplicated medium body pinot. Cherry and strawberry and wet stone with soft tannins. Good, not distinctive.

Very elegant delicious Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that is very well balanced with seemless flavors and a refined finish.

Our last bottle. Still stellar. And a steal for what we paid for it as club members.
