Initially a bit closed, though still very nice. Did not decant, but left bottle alone for several hours and wine was less funky but more open when I returned to it. Nose of the farm (hay, not horse) and cherry on the palate. Complex and excellent, though finish is not particularly long.

Are these dead already or just closed down? I was anticipating a great Oregon Pinot experience and got a tired, faded wine instead. OK nose, but little fruit or complexity on the palate. 86 points is generous, probably a sentimental point or two built in there as I love this winery...

This is a pleasant surprise. Certainly a light edge and body, but a firm, fruity finish.

Alive and well, though certainly past its prime.
