An bit of an unsual varietal/region I don't have a lot of experience with. Good depth of flavor with sharp acidity. Clashed a bit with the spicy Sichuan dish I paired it with.

A tremendous achievement at this price point. Light in color and full of characteristics I expect in California Pinot Noir. Fresh, perfectly ripened fruit on the nose. Satisfying depth of flavor with silky mouth feel. Well balanced. Most impressively, the wine is free of any "off" notes. Outstanding.

I've long been a fan of this bottling, and this 2014 is exceptionally impressive. Compelling pure fruit with classic supporting Oregon earthiness. If this is a sign of what's to come for 2014 Oregon Pinot Noir I'm very excited.
