  Natural cork, light ruby in the glass. Bright red fruits on the nose. Tart cherry and strawberry flavours. Quite a bit of acidity. Tannins are still noticeable.
  Good QPR, will improve and integrate nicely over the next five years.

  This bottle never clicked, bitter finish which have been related to pea shoots we ate, not much bouquet, fruit was subdued, drank with blackened salmon, paprika potatoes and pea shoots - maybe not the best pairing, drank ok but still disappointing, last bottle, on to other bottlings.

  Subdued nose of strawberry, pomegranate, red cherry and sous-bois notes with some background sweetness. A lighter-bodied frame with pronounced acidity, gradually opening up over a couple of hours to develop a creamier palate profile. Medium finish. I was left wanting - for me, this wine was like a plane taxiing down the runway but never quite achieving lift-off. A glass poured on day 2 had taken a step backward. My score reflects the best part of its drinking window.

  Another 2019 stunner. Is this the best Willamette Valley vintage ever? I think so. Vibrant red berry, mushroom and earth on the nose. Same on the palate with loads of lively fresh cherry and cranberry, and some light herbal accent. Lots of acid and enough tannin to lay it down at least 5 more years and let those earthy notes come out more. Everything is in harmony bringing together the pop of new world fruit with the grace of old world restraint. The finish is long. It’s lean, elegant, and very classy. Drink now - roughly 2029.
