  Pretty aromas of sweet black cherry, cherry pie filling, herbs and spice. Medium weight with zesty, spice filled black cherry. Good lift and mouthwatering acids. Well composed and giving now.

  Drinking very well right now. Bright red fruit on the palate. Light body and high acid as one would expect from 2011, but comes across as energetic rather than shrill. A core of raspberry on the nose and palate, along with a little spice and earth. A real success, wish I had more in the cellar.

  Had this last night and didn't take detailed notes. Opened and kept in cellar for about 3 hours before decanting and leaving for 90 minutes or so. Great dark ruby color. Good red fruited nose with some spice and maybe a little spruce? On the palate there is light crunchy fruit and mineral, earth, a touch of spice and some tannic structure. Reminds of a Nuits St. George in being a little backward and brawny, but having lithe body. Have to use that descriptor since I drink so few Oregonians that I cannot benchmark this fine wine against them. Finish is good if mildly abrupt due to the obvious youth. Very impressive wine and a real value at $35-40. As this ages it should have a wonderful story to tell. Excellent to Outstanding.
