  Wine Spectator Grand Tasting- SF April 24; 4/29/2013-5/1/2013: Really nice clear ruby color. Expressive aromatically with notes of earth, clove, tobacco, fig and floral. Richly and elegantly layered balance between the fruit and savory notes. Really pretty black tea-like accents. Vibrant on the palate with elegant tannins. Finishes full. Excellent.

  Nice nose, cherry/strawberry, bubble gum, and a bit of potpourri. The palate shows medium-light weight and good texture, bright cherry fruit early on that leads into heavily-steeped red tea which integrates well with some stemmy notes on the tail end of the mid-palate. Balanced acids with somewhat gritty tannins in the finish, but again, some nice integration between the structure and the earthy flavors. I like this quite a bit. It's light-bodied, delicious Oregon Pinot that has some great character, and is good on it's own or with food. (Chanterelle mushroom and cheese pizza in this case!) Cheers.

  Gentle strawberry nose, different effects on front and back palate - tart cherries on end, long finish

  Mountains to Metro (Heritage Ballroom in the Governor Hotel): Very soft aromas, light, but also elegant. Feels shy, but like something beautiful is hiding. Certainly show's intrigue and makes me want to dive in. The palate is unfortunately more obvious, with soft tart fruit and not much depth. The red undertones are nice, with some juicy near bubble gum flavors, but it's all on a nice light frame. Pretty nice acidity on the finish, but really lacking depth that'd be worth getting excited about.
