  Another enjoyable cristom. Opened 2 +hours before drinking. Very understated bouquet. Sophisticated mid palette and decent finish. Not obvious that this has the legs to keep improving beyond the next year or two

  Superb Oregon Pinot Noir rivaling most Red Burgundy Gran Crus. Expressive fruit of raspberry along with medium acidity and a long and strong finish. At nine years, this vintage is still not at its peak. Certainly a vintage that will improve over the next five years and last another five afterwards.

  I was stunned by this bottle. When we visited the winery I liked the wine alot. But they were far less evolved. This one is in a great place right now and is showing really well. It has a bright and effusive nose, with pronounced rose petals and other floral scents, in addition to a spicy, peppery quality. Very high quality fruit, with gorgeous strawberry, plum, and pomegranate on the palate.
  
  And a lovely, balanced mouthfeel with vivacious tannins. A silky finish that coats the palate. Just wow. Wish I had bought more. I can't keep it in the glass.
  
  It could likely evolve for a few more years. Have some bottles left, and am really looking forward to seeing if it gets any better.

  Good stuff with great fruit: mostly dark but with lighter notes. Good quality but a bit polished. A little bit too much vanilla and butter for me, but still in balance.

  375 vertical along with the 16 and the 17: This is the beautiful one. Soft red fruit, earth and graham cracker, a nice line of acidity. YUM.
