Bold with depth for a Pinot. It was toward the end of its life because after opening it lost it luster within 30 minutes. Had good depth of flavor with medium finish. Remember its depth but much longer time to drink. Still good, if you have it drink now, within the next 4-6 months.

Drank over two days. A wine of the earth that does not lack for fruit. Lovely and satisfying throughout. It belongs in a blind flight of quality Burgundy.

Beautiful wine, made in the Burgundian style, earth competing with fruit, and judicious oak treatment. Seductive mouthfeel, great acid, with appealing tannin, and well balanced. It should enjoy a long maturation arc. 93-94.

Quite lovely. Chehalem Mountain fruit and terroir wrapped in Old World charm. This bottle would have held for quite a while.

Complex, layered, and umami-driven. Quite unique for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Holding form, and there is no hurry. Excellent!
