Jessie James Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Excellent really. Sweet Pinot Fruit. Cherry πŸ’ mostly. Just 13.5%. Very refined. Like a Burgundy at a much better price point. Planted in 1996 to Pommard, Wadenswil and 114. Dry farmed! Needs at least 2 hours of air. Teanotes, … fresh! In my book one of the top 10 Pinots in the US. β€” 15 days ago

Hyland Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Very elegant. 13.4%. Made with care. Definitely a lot of ambition there. This is a little bit too fruit driven for me. More Oregon than Burgh. Might be the vintage. Perhaps this needs more age. Subdued cherry, hint strawberry, …touch muscat. β€” 16 days ago

Reserve Chambourcin 2021

Very nice chambourcin. Rose petals and spiced nose. Moderate body, slightly sweet with cherries, raspberries, strawberries and spice. Soft finish. Drinkable on opening and day 2. β€” a month ago

9.4

Gorgeous. Nose is crystalline. Sweet cantaloupe, gorgeous minerality and its all presented in a narrow tunnel that is so focused. Some herbs as well. So clear and clean. Palate is equally as crystalline with stunning focus, precision and minerality. Just so taut and luscious with unreal juiciness. This is young and will continue to unwind. 9.4 for now but I will be back. β€” 8 months ago

Willamette Valley Gamay Noir 2019

Oh that nose! Roses and roots and fruits
Crunchy texture, light but at the same time a lot of body. Perfect acidity. Delicious finish
This has to be one of the best Gamays produced on this side of the Atlantic.

Like a white Burgh. Hazelnut, meyer lemon. Plenty of acid. My favorite Oregon winery. β€” 16 days ago

Fruit and spice on the nose. Very approachable on opening and remained consistently good two days later. Raspberries spice (cinnamon) and slight plum on the palate. Medium density. Moderate length finish. β€” 8 months ago
