Drunk to accompany roast chicken. Opened and poured. A delicious bottle of pinot noir, for me one of the best from Oregon. Medium cherry colour. Good nose, strawberries, spice, some earthiness. The palate is very smooth and subtly rich, lovely tannins. Very enjoyable.

Aromatic nose, bursting with expressive fruit as soon as it hits your palate, and a pleasant, smooth finish. Balanced and an excellent expression of Oregon Pinot.

A little full and fruity and lacking the funkiness that I prefer in Pinot Noir, but still distinctly Oregon. Nicely balanced and good QPR, particularly if you enjoy a fuller and fruitier style. But for a few more dollars per bottle I can find options in Oregon more suited to my own tastes.

Ripe berry on the nose. A bit dirty on the palate and finish... a little more dusty and a touch off. The Chehelem Mtn from Adelslheim was the same to it must be my palate sensitive to their wine making. Will let the other bottles rest for a while before trying.

Elegant and characteristic of Willamette PN! Nice fruit up front (cherry and blackberry), with a hearty Pinot taste...a hint of black licorice on the palate and a lingering finish, hints of meat and smoke.

Medium transparent garnet-ruby. Elegant and refined nose. Light bodied, with bright red cherry framed by moderate but angular tannins. Good acid, as well, to provide a bit of cut. Nice, relatively inexpensive representation of Oregon Pinot.

Tasted at the winery. Bright cherry colour. Lovely sweet cherry nose. Dry palate, mouth puckering, peppery, cranberries. This vintage only bottled 6 months ago, so will evolve and soften. Good for their entry level wine.

Had a bit of funk in the initial nose but with a screw top couldn’t be corked. Smoothed out and was a pleasant Pinot. Ready to drink.

It rested a while. Integrated a bit better over the past two years. Good at this price. And... it's a screwtop.

Excellent fruit with a little earth. Strong finish with the right amount of acid. Enjoyed with maple grilled salmon and risotto

On the dark-fruited, new-world side of pinot. A bit heavy, mainly showing primary fruit right now. Good enough, but not sure about the value at $28.

Good blueberry and cherry fruit. Bit of black pepper. Nice but not overbearing tannin. A solid but not outstanding pinot noir.

Classic Willamette blueberry nose. Good backbone of acidity and fresh blueberry on the palate. Decently complex. Drinkable.

Nice balance of red fruit and spice. Similar to the 2017. Should improve with some age.
