So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: Brought to an Oregon Pinot themed dinner. Beautiful color. Rough nose at first, but opens up after a bit. Compared to some of the other Oregon Pinots on the table - especially the 2013 Eyries, this one was a bit dark and dense. But not overwhelming or overly fruity. It had the spice and savory character of a burgundy, but the freshness and fruit of an American wine. I don’t know my Oregon wines well, but this was really tasty and fit the theme. Drinking well now, and maybe on the back edge, but some time left.

Clean, no sediment. Slightly bricking in color. Sweet cherry, rhubarb and a bit of pine jump from glass. Medium weight, with bright cherry, red licorice, heather and sweet cola notes fading to slightly acidic finish. This wine is at a good spot, so drink now.

Drank over two nights. Bought at the winery. Ruby red colored, medium bodied. strong cherry nose, cotton candy, red licorice. Good acidity. Well balanced. Lots of red berries. Medium finish. Great structure. Very sophisticated wine. The winery is a nice place to visit as well. All around this is one classy wine. Fantastic!
Unfortunately this did not wow me the way I was hoping. I drank it over several days, it was the best on Day 2. However, this was not stored perfectly by me in the first two years after I purchased it.

Deep dark color, good nose, good palate feel and good finish. All around good.
