  Pale rusty garnet with a pleasant woodsy/berry nose. Classic OR Pinot profile, reflective of the lean 2011 vintage: elegant, with subtle earthy notes to complement cranberry and brambleberry flavors. A surprising amount of sediment, making for a rather crunchy last glass, but notwithstanding we had no problem finishing this bottle. I don't see a lot of further development on this wine - recommend drinking up.

  Medium garnet with light cherry nose. Tart pie cherries, lilacs, some mineral and stone fruit bitters. Medium body with a good balance with the acid leading the fruit along to meet up with a lightly mossy forest with some pine needles wafting through on the wind. Very enjoyable, simple, but good and a pleasure to drink if you like your wines in a restrained manner.

  Medium garnet with light ripe strawberry nose. Dry, clean red berry, raspberries, tart Himalayan blackberries, light earthy notes. Well balanced with a good acid profile, fairly light body and tannins. Drinking very well now and quite enjoyable on the PnP, 90 pts. This will be a good summer red, two bottles left for then if I can resist.

  Light to medium ruby, light lilac/lavender nose. Dry with light fruit, well balanced acid, fruit with light tannins and a delight to drink. This may not have a long future, but why wait.
