This is a very dense/tight wine. Deep black fruit, spice, floral, wood profile. There is acidity but the wine is not balanced. Astringent finish. Can’t figure it out. This profile is not what I want in an Oregon wine. Too much extraction. Trying to be a CA Pinot when it shouldn’t.

Surprisingly dense with plenty of acid. Drinking wonderfully right now, but just getting interesting, could go much longer.

Outstanding. Has aged as well as I'd hoped.

Rose pedals on the nose. Carmel vanilla and elegant rasberry. Slight tartness.
