No sign of smoke taint. Lovely fresh raspberry nose. Well integrated on the palate, but not as complex as the nose hinted at. Still, great value Oregon PN.

My 3rd, and to my surprise, best bottle. No contemporaneous notes. Initially displaying an off-putting smoke-tinged nose and bitter finish, the odor blew off and the bitterness on the palate mellowed out. The quality of the fruit is obvious in this declassified offering. As I have said before, for near term consumption.

Had a few of these bottles when released and they were good but now the smoke taint has popped its head out and this is now officially undrinkable. If you want a class in smoke taint this is your ticket
Straight down the middle simple Pinot. Red fruit and a short finish Listed at 12.9 alcohol there did appear a little heat that came and went over 3-4 hours.
