Love this blend — 2 years ago
Nice redfruit aromas and flavors, floral, still just a bit of tannic structure, medium-long finish, solid Oregon Pinot. — 3 years ago
One of my absolute favorites. Ripe fruits with a hint of spice and a structured finish. On the liter side for a petite Syrah, almost refreshing. A great wine to share, as it is very easy to drink. Let it sit 30 min before drinking. — 5 years ago

Crisp. Delicious. — 6 years ago
Really nice and fruity rosé! Has a nice interesting round red fruit character that gets lifted by citrus and salinity on the back end. Beautiful almost amber color. Great stuff! — 3 months ago

This is some great Alexander Valley Chard;
Aromatic, both rounded and sharp on the palette, crisp but fruity acid and a decent finish. I think it could age well - become more rounded while retaining that acid and improve on the finish. — 2 years ago

My kind of Pinot Noir. Bold and fruity, even a little peppery with a bit of heat. Nothing wimpy here. — 2 years ago
A label new to me I bought at a Downs Club tasting. A little funk on the nose with almonds and under ripe stone fruit. Impressive if not a little light on the palate with the nose carrying through on to the palate. On the 2nd day this had filled out finishing with a saline minerality. Medium plus intensity and length. Proves once again that the Adelaide Hills is an exceptional area for Chardonnay - think Shaw and Smith M3 Chardonnay. — 4 years ago

Great nose and color. At almost 5 years old features smoothed Tannins. Dry but not overly so. Nicely done. August 2020. — 6 years ago

2023 vintage. The epitome of Willamette Valley Pinots, earthy floral aromas on the nose, robust berry flavors on the palette, medium bodied structure, velvety smooth finish with a slight hint of spice on the tail. Under $45, very enjoyable, great pairing with pasta. — a month ago
