The youthful nose is dominated by high toned fruit notes of red cherry, pomegranate, raspberry with accents of allspice, iron ore and whole cluster fermented fruit, There is depth and complexity in the aromas but still quite coiled and restrained. Reticent but elegant red Pinot fruit flavors alongside a focused mineral edge. Dense fruit based tannins intertwined with the refreshing acidic zing provide a formidable structure. The finish has emerging but restrained red fruit and Corton power. This appears to need 3 to 4 more years to develop as air added layers but still reminded slightly reticent. I feel the wine will show well for many years. — 2 years ago
Tight.
N:Reticent, herbaceous, black plums, cocoa. Plush red/brown velvet nose.
P: Way too young… patience my man,
But nice plums, tilled earth, dense, herbs, lots of acid,
This ain’t no Cali/Ore Pinot.
I say come back in five? yrs.
After 1 hr + in a decanter, Wow! Dirty leather,
Big.
Thank @ Fass Selections
From Skurnik:
The pick of the sites on the big hill, this is limestone again, and the wine is fascinating, bloody yet almost mineral; a truly complex mid-palate, animated and squirming; dark fruit and warm crust and a lingering multi-faceted finish. — a year ago
Very acidic with pear notes — 4 years ago
Love the color on this one. Beautiful lemon yellow.
Subtle bouquet. Aromatic, the smell of lilies and bunches of raspberries.
Wow. What a complex blend. If lilies could produce fruit, this gold ore would represent.
Light acidity. Really love the rounded taste, aroma and color. All combine to make a worthwhile tasting experience. — 5 years ago
Bloody nose iron ore. Vivacious with mouth drying minerality; reminds a little of volcanic island wine. — 6 years ago
E buono ma non e speciale alla ore stessa. Ci sarebbe un altro piu buono mercato come ginsen New Zealand Marborough Sauvgnion Blanc. Ma sono felice di abere cercato i vini locali a Seattle. Vorrei studiare piu. — 6 years ago
