This wine is currently in its prime. Dark crimson in color with beautiful aromas of dark berry and cedar spice leaping from the glass. On the palate, I couldn't agree more with the previous review of being "almost cab like". It's big in structure and has lots of concentrated fruit. The acidity and tannin structure have mellowed a bit, making this a perfect time to enjoy what may be left in your cellar.

Unlike previous tastings this wine really came together last night. Was lush and the alcohol dominance had faded. Finally starting to live up to it's pricetag of $70.

This was almost "cab-like". Decanted for 2 hours. Towards the end of the bottle sour cherry dominated this wine. Very dark and dense for a pinot. Will have to try more. Not sure if I loved it or kinda liked it.

This was tasting very nice. Still had plenty of structure.

Not as good as what we had at the winery (2008). But still a fine example of an Oregon Pinot.
