  Still a very fresh and invigorating wine even 9 years later. Tangy acidity and surprisingly still-there tannins. Tart cherry, underripe strawberry, raspberry, and a slightly earthy character on the palate. Nice robust nose upon opening. A lot of character to this wine.
  
  $15 USD via Last Bottle was a no-brainer for this. Just the kind of pinot I gravitate toward.

  What a great Pinot and fabulous QPR purchased from LB, just what I like in a Willamette Pinot. Bright tannins and a spicy character, raspberry on the nose, nice perfume, a darker ruby color than I expected. 30 - 45 minutes exposure to air brought out tart cherry, boysenberry fruit and took off some edge but there was still plenty of lingering acidity. Paired very well with a pan seared cod with a balsamic reduction, roasted asparagus. In its prime but plenty of life left.

  Interesting nose (I suck at this part). Earthy maybe. Nice structure. Spice, earth, subdued fruit on the pallette. Medium finish.
  
  Punches well above its weight for the $15 paid on last bottle. Look for it again!
