Bought this on retailer rave recco, which proved spot on. Bright, balanced floral - fruity Pinot package. Bonus = 1st release from this Oregon producer.

Love this wine. Bright ferries floral aspects. Dried herbs. Slight mushroom. Great tannins and acidity.

Concrete on the nose. Not showing a lot. Blackberries and woody notes with a roundness from the malolactic. Minerality.

The anti-fruity Pinot - gorgeous nose, very reserved, maybe the slightest bit wooden but still nicely rounded. J loves it. Opened ~90 mins early which might have toned it down

Fuller bodied and less delicate than I expect from a Pinot Noir. Scents of blackberry, violets, and bacon fat that all come across on the palette. As the wine opens up, I get more of the autumn leaves aroma and taste that I associate with North American Pinot Noir.

Decent Pinot but not exceptional.
