Started out closed, and smelling like a lumber yard. But with an hour or so of air, its Oregon roots start to show. Still shows significant but high quality toasty oak, together with sappy cherry fruit and earthy/sweet spices. In the mouth it’s balanced, with loamy, ripe fruit, crushed gravel, and a bit of black tea. Good concentration and length. The tannins are very soft. — 2 years ago

Had in February, everyone loved. Full bodied for a Pinot. Really good. — 4 years ago
Thought this would show the bottle age, but it drinks like a current release. All exuberance, classic Pommardian nose, love all that cherry cola & black tea, just pretty. Could smell it all day. Med (-) on palate, maybe lacking some stuffing, but elegant & well-made w/modest finish. — 5 months ago

Amazing. Easy to drink. Smooth. Low tannin. Balanced. Drank after dinner when we got back home. (Had steak at dinner with Oregon PN). — 3 months ago
