Named after Colene’s great granddaughter, medium Ruby with aromas of berry fruit and sweet nutty spice aromas. On the palate ripe strawberry and cherry fruit flavors with tea and licorice notes, lively acidity adding herb spices. Long finish, dry tannins that need some time, ending with bright mineral tones. Nice, still can cellar for a few years. Small production.

Ruby with elegant red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, aged for 11 months in 29% new French oak. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with notes of herb pepper, licorice with wet stone notes. Soft tannins on a long finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral notes. Very Nice!

Balanced Oregon Pinot… new world, but only slightly.

Very green, it must have been harvested too early. Almost not decent

Colene Clemens 2011 Margo Pinot Noir. Nice and spicy earthy and a touch of plum on the nose. Very light, soft with a slightly pepper finish.

Interesting nose! Peppercorn (green and black) dried herbs, and dred flower petals. The pallet was delicate and spicy - sweet raspberry and nutmeg, with generous acidity. Really nice wine for a modest price!

Ruby, nice red fruit aromas. Black cherries and spice on the palate, complex, well integrated and good balance. Fine tannins and finishes with tobacco and cacao notes. Very nice.
