Wine is dense red with amazing bouquet of blackberries, one and subtle Cassis and on the pallet it’s rich, dance full bodied and vibrant with very lively acidity, earthiness, still with abundant black fruit particularly plum and overtones of tobacco and dark earth. Would definitely buy more!

Opened another bottle one year after my original tasting. Again excellent example of the Oregon Pinot
Wet earth, lavender, floral with a bit of rose petals and stewed strawberry on the nose, on the pallet soft lush read through student nature, mocha tobacco ash lavender and gentle spice with soft hands. Super Pinot would buy more!

Yes the Romanus is drinking real well....peach, gentle stone fruit on the nose with incredible aromatic flinty and smokiness. The bouquet really comes alive. On the pallet, lots of mineral, fruit is still present, acidity really cuts the RS. Would score it 94 or so...well worth the money. Enjoy!!
