Still great, everything you want in a Pinot Noir rose. — 2 years ago
Dark garnet color. The nose is full of cherry cola, blueberry and a noticeable “green” aroma. The palate is more mulberry/boysenberry focused with additional touches of black tea, tobacco and wild herbs. No noticeable oak. A definite “stemmy” note on the finish. Medium-plus finish and sturdy tannins. Tongue tingling acidity and mouthfeel. Nice freshness. Part of the North Shore House Wine Pairing Dinner on March 9, 2024. — 2 months ago
Soft and juicy. Actually goes really well with seafood, especially shellfish. — 2 years ago
Reddish in color with light intensity.
Red fruits on the nose with light oak, spices, herbs and milk chocolates.
Light to medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, red cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates and earth.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Pinot Noir from Oregon is easy drinking, nicely balanced and soft.
Good right out of the bottle and good as a sipping wine.
Would be nice to revisit it in 2 years.
Good by itself or with food. I gave it a light chill, and paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

Could there be a better thanksgiving pairing? Not planned, but this became the grand slam of the evening. So much ripe fruit - cherry, red plum, strawberry, pomegranate - but in the best way. Evergreen notes. Amazing orange marmalade 3/4 of the way through that carries through on the finish. Cola notes on the finish. Concentrated California Grand Cru shit.
100% whole cluster, high elevation & low yielding vineyard. 50%ish new oak.

The nose is quite stunning. Explodes with Dujac whole cluster spice, violets, and dark fruit. Palate needs some time to catch up, as it’s a bit austere, reduced and not overly persistent. But it’s clear the stuffing is there. 2013’s, however, both Combottes and Charmes at this point in time, I’d say are more integrated between aromas and palate and are more expressive overall. 12’s, although eventually the better vintage, seem to still require a bit more patience to reap the benefits. — 3 years ago
