Vineyard is in Willamette Valley AVA with Willakenzie soil. Red currant and raspberry fruit, with a mandarin orange note, spice, black tea, graphite and mushroom. — a year ago
Fruit filled. Cassis and blackberries. I found the ethanol and fruit to be slightly out of balance. Leaning to the hot side. Overall very good. — 2 years ago

Vineyard sits on Willakenzie soils in the heart of the Yamhill Carlton AVA. Ruby red color with aromas of red and black fruits and spice, aged for 10 months in French oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry and raspberry with tobacco, herbs and earthy tones. Full-bodied, fine tannins, balanced, medium finish ending with big earthy spice notes. Nice now! Will age a bit! — 8 months ago

Purchased during 2017 visit to the winery. Vineyard is in Ribbon Ridge AVA with Willakenzie soils. Black cherry, raspberry and blueberry fruit, with orange zest, cinnamon spice, black pepper and violet notes. Blue fruit and spice driven. Almost has a touch of effervescence. Reminiscent of Beaux Freres. — 2 years ago
