Dark ruby color. Not much going on on the nose or palate. I like non-CA-style Oregon PNs, but the fruit here is way too muted, and there is nothing else going on to make up for that. Disappointing to say the least. ***Okay, I must have rushed to judgment the first night. Was so disappointed that I left the remainder in the fridge w/o removing air via Vacu-Vin. Much, much better the second night, but still not excellent. Actually had some blackberry on the palate, although still not much on the nose. Nonetheless, I mostly enjoyed the remainder tonight.

Screw-top. Light purple color, very nice PN nose of cherry and some leathery notes. Nicely dry and soft, sour cherries and not overly fruity. Very good but not very complex, finish medium to short.

Straight forward fruit driven Pinot. Light mouth feel and short to medium finish. Simple, but refreshing in a way. Good for the price.

Simple combo of pepper, spice, and cherry. I don't really associate Oregon Pinot with a pepper quality, so this wasn't quite what I hoped for.

Color is medium garnet. On the nose, dusty cherry and spice. Palate reveals medium cherry, spice, earth all balanced with good acidity.
