Raspberry and black currant flavors with pomegranate-like tannin, acidity and flavor present. This wine is seed tannin-forward with length of flavor and moderate skin tannin finish. Aging well…

Thoughtful and expertly crafted Pinot noir. Burgundian inspiration yet so transparently Oregon. Seriously wow for the value. Can not wait to try some of the single site bottlings.

Light and earthy, cherries, tea leaves and rain. Perfect for this rainy afternoon. Cherry rain clouds in a glass!

Still very young, but so pretty on the nose. Violets, roses, black cherry, and wet forest floor. Get it and sit in it for a few years!
