These are night 2 notes. (I thought I entered notes on Night 1, but they weren’t there, so Night 2 it is. And that’s a bonus for this wine because it’s better on Night 2.)
Nose is gorgeous, with sweet, sultry cherry ooze, Graham cracker, some moist humus, and a dark florality. Very soft and enveloping in the mouth, great fruit on entry, good mid-palate density and ripeness, and a long finish that tails into savory territory. Really fine value.

What an odd wine!
This reminds me more of a South American wine than an Oregonian wine, for sure.
Some saline, medium bodied, barnyard, menthol, juice. Blind tasted - more of a merlot that a Pinot. It works, yet does not impress.

Excellent right out of the bottle before I began a wine reduction sauce for Budapest duck breasts Impressive Pinot noir selection from Garsgiste.

Smoky black cherry notes dominate a nose that also contains some red fruits. Zippy acid is great but not quite world class. This is a solid bottle of wine and reasonably priced for quality, but 91-92 points I don't see. Fruit is a little one dimensional and slightly too forward to merit that high a rating.
