Black cherry, raspberrry, currant, vanilla, oak and cranberry. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

An ideal growing season paired beautifully with our minimalist winemaking style to produce this Pinot. Rich hues of blueberry draw the eye, while lush dark stone fruits coat the palate. Velvety finish leaves you wanting more!

Showcasing the best of a cool vintage, opens with aromas of cherry, marionberry and spice. Balanced palate of fruit & minerality. Silky tannins and a long finish. Elegance in a bottle!

Juicy strawberry nose, grapefruit & raspberry syrup on the palate, all balanced by bright acidity. Delish!

Really neat winery. Excellent Pinot. Great color. Mildly complex. Reasonable price $36
Nice story behind name - worth a visit if in Oregon

Wonderful nose of bright fruit. Strawberries on the nose. Lighter body but great complexity. Would be great with salmon but held up great with a lamb burger I had. Enjoyed it a lot
