Blind tasted. Notes of baking spice, blackberry, red plum, red cherry, vanilla, sage, cedar, bark. I thought the oak on this was pretty obvious and was between Zin and Pinot and said Zin. Pretty surprised to see Oregon, as this is definitely a showy style, and also surprised to see the price and vineyard (and vintage!) Drinks like an entry level CA pinot from a warm year.

I'm a little surprised by the other score of 78. This hit the spot for me, providing nose, taste and character. I aerated into a decanter and we drank thru the evening. Very good.

Medium-bodied. Bright, sweet red fruit with good acidity. Delicious.
