On pop n pour, I thought the wine was thin. The color was the prettiest shade of purple I've seen in a long time. This is a smooth drinking wine, with a taste of cherry that didn't hit me over the year. Over 90 minutes the wine filled out. Dinner with Howie et al. Dinner of pasta in meat sauce + lamb chops. I was disappointed at the price point.

Coravin pour. Fairly deep purple and red color. Nose has cool red fruits, but isn't giving up too much. Sweet raspberries, black cherry, full bodied relative to the region, earthy notes come through on the finish. This starts smooth and easy, but ends with a burst of tension leaving you wanting another sip.

Willamette Valley Trip - June 2018; 6/8/2018-6/11/2018: The darkest and most full bodied in the lineup. Bolder profile, round and delicious. Vincent said this is because this marine sedimentary vineyard gets a lot less wind than the others.
