  Not a typical Oregon pinot as it was mostly red berry flavors and also somewhat light-bodied and soft. It was a bit disappointing in that it didn't really have the texture or structure I expected. At the same time, there were no faults. I would suggest drinking up.

  From magnum, served pnp. Dark crimson in color, this wine reveals cherry pit, raspberry and white flowers on the nose. The mouth feel is lighter bodied with more red fruits and overt vanilla and cola elements. The finish is well balanced with the strong red fruits and copious acidity keeping the surprising high 14.9% abv well in the background.
  
  Purchased for $100US/1.5L, this inaugural vintage of this cuvee is drinking very well at this point. It easily has 5-10 years more of life. Glad I was able to share it with friends last night at a local BYOB.

  Opened by Phil. Drinking very well. Earthy with dark fruit notes. Fuller body. 89-90 points.

  Took to a restaurant before a show. Didn't focus too much on what was in the glass as much as the conversation. Seemed to really open at the 30 minute mark showing pretty dark cherries, baking spices, mid-weight on the body (even with such a hot vintage), and ready to drink up.
