2015, super easy drinking and bright fruit throughout. A drink now and enjoy for about 30 bucks

Lush black cherries with a slight cinnamon vanilla baking spice on the nose. A very fruit forward Pinot. Almost sweet on the palate. The big fruit carries forward from the tip of the tongue to the finish. A nice slight acidic finish with a little burn.

Black cherry, some mushroom/forest floor, cola, briar blackberry, and plum. Pretty fruit forward, almost sweet. Zippy acidity, almost effervescent. Nice budget-friendly Willamette Pinot Noir.

Good mainstream style Oregon pinot. Medium body. Some complexity, nice fruit intensity. 2016

2014. Delicious for a. “simple value pinot”. Cherry Jolly Rancher flavors but not at all cloying. Some nice smooth glycerin. I like everything I’ve had from De Ponte Cellars.
