A beautiful wine and one of the best Oregon Pinots I can remember having. Ripe red raspberry fruit in perfect balance with medium acidity and light-medium body with well integrated oak. I’m sure this could make older bones, but I actually think this will be at its best in 2-3 years when the fruit is still vibrant but develops more complexity and secondary flavors. Bravo Marcus.

Pop n pour after a couple hours this clear and Clean 2016 is crunchy fresh showing red berries and cherries , minty and forestry notes on the nose, this is really bright and nice and complex. strong aromatic flavors but clocking in at only 13.5%, this is still concentrated on the palate and really nicely balanced with fruit and earth. Lovely Pinot noir expression that drinking very well right now.

Blinded for folks and everyone called Burgundy. This is really classy pinot noir. Beautiful balance, expressive fruit, hint of earthiness, lingering finish. Really tasty stuff at crazy good pricing.

Medium/light weighted Savory, sweet, stoney black cherry, red alpine strawberry, red currant Red cherry acidity (balanced/medium) Clean sappy fruit Smooth finish with a little spice
Quaffable, but not overly simple. A light touch, but slightly more touch and riper than the Kelley Fox wines I tried a months prior. Look forward to my next bottle in 5YRs? Can go longer...
