One of my all time favorite Oregon Pinot Noir producers. Love the earth.

This one took forever to open up which is surprising since it’s 10 years old now. It was worth the wait. Slight burn at the end of the palate. Minerals on the nose and palate. Still some fruit forward but starting to get earthy. Last bottle we have in stock 😢.

These are tasting really good right now.. drank it on out two year anniversary. Still very fruit forward with dark cherry. Alcohol and a hint of black licorice on the nose. Didn't need to breath much when opened.

Give it a few minutes until it opens up into a cuddly delicious bouquet of peach-vanilla-cherry while retaining the typical Willamette valley earthiness... Goes incredibly well with the lamb fondue on the Elway's menu

Needs some air time to let its fruit come out to play.

Classic Oregon Pinot! Lots of earth mixed with hints of cherry and spice and a touch of chocolate. Continued to evolve in the glass. Could drink this all night long!

2008 vintage does not disappoint. Fruit forward and a very silky texture. Dark cherry and dark berries. Alcohol on the nose. Needs to breath for about 30+ minutes before drinking.
