Definitely tertiary at this point, but still extremely pleasant. Based on this bottle, I wouldn’t sit on this any longer. Dried berries, fall forest floor, chewed coffee beans.

Found this deep in the cellar and it is still holding up well for a 12 year old Pinot. A little past prime but still well balanced with dark fruits of black berry, and a plum finish and some spice. I don’t get the cherry other tasting notes talked about. Took awhile to open up and my cellar was a bit chilly so once wine warmed up, it changed nicely in the glass. Still has some sulfur on nose but this blows off. Time to drink up the rest.

Not a shy Pinot here. There's a explosion of cherry cordial with some earthy and tar notes, pomegranates and some spices on the medium bodied palate. Quite light in colour, but packs a tasty punch. Healthy acidity keeps things fresh in this warm year (A-).

A slight bit of “too old” but otherwise this is fruity, big, tasty and an example of just how good Oregon Pinot can be.

Fantastic juice. Sad I have to be in "the club" to purchase this now - lucky I have a ton of bottles left.
