As good as it gets from Westrey, an outstanding artisanal smaller Oregon producer. 2007 vintage a “divisive” vintage given severe weather challenges. The superior vintners made great wines from the cooler year, but sadly, many of Oregon’s still newer winemakers struggled. To my taste, the cooler vintages like 2007 really hyper vigilantly can offer the best of OR Pinot noir as it showcases the cooler grape with typicity of place, terroir & season. No big ass full bodied jammy juice without regard for soil, AVA, vineyard & winemakers delicate touch to create nectar of Oregon’s Wine Gods’! Well done David & Amy

I prefer the single vineyard Pinots from Westrey, I guess. This one was quite fine, however a bit too caramel'y and too superimposed fruitful. Might be a clone "issue" - however still good wine.

Stunning and in perfect balance and very nice nose. See prior notes and know the depth has become more profound with strong stone minerality and a smokiness to the red fruits.

Beautifully crafted wine drinking well and will improve! Nicely balanced, elegant with with good acids around red fruits and plums. Enjoy again in a few years when it is even better knit and complex with tertiary depth.

A ton of shitty 07 OR Pinots (Patricia Green Cellars, Newburg OR): nose: slightly forward nose with pretty tones of cherries, tart berries, dark red fruits and a t ouch of plums
taste: medium bodied with medium acidity and with an elegant feel and tones of cherries, tart berries and plum tones
overall: Another elegant pinot to start things off. Well balanced and pretty with a very fragrant nose
