  Wine was decanted for an hour.
  
  Buckets of bright red fruits here. Cranberry, cherry, plum, and raspberry. Cedar and earth notes add depth. Tannins are medium-plus. Acidity is medium. Finishes dry. Better on day 2.
  
  Tasty OR pinot for only $25 at K&L.

  Could be bottle variance but just never got there. Fruit was buried, fairly tannic and finished abruptly. Nice nose and color, but just came up short. Didn’t age as well as other 2012’s we’re still enjoying.

  Nice wine. Well made. Went great w baked coho and roasted potatoes. Not as full bodied as some 2012's. I appreciate that. Balanced.

  Medium body, but dry, minimal fruit flavors, compared to many of the northern Willamette Valley wines.
