  Wow. Intensely aromatic with bright but mature cherry and forest floor aromas. Its tastes are darker - raspberry and background dried cherry with soy and a touch of cinnamon and orange peel. After two hours open the wine is even more harmonious with a touch of cigar box too. Integrated tannins, but still present. This has years to go, and might get better. A superb example of a Dundee Pinot with real structure and complexity.

  Pop and pour. This is stunning now, with the acid maturing to that broad, saucy flavor you find in Blanc de Noir Champagne. Earth is present and the beautiful red fruit is mature. Plenty of firm tannins still. Don't be afraid to cellar Mo's wines! Wonderful.

  Bigger Pinot here, deep purple hue. This bottling resembles a California Pinot more than a wilamette valley one. Still plenty of life though if one had more in the cellar to hold for a later drink date.

  Rich, earthy and savory red and blue fruits with a supple structure and a nice finish. Ready to drink now. Tasty.
