The Upper Terrace Pinot Noir

Probably still a little young, but otherwise a really great bottle. Dark transparent ruby, with a woody-er edge to it. Some cherry pie, herbs, baking spices and tar aromas. Strong structure, making it feel young. Pretty large body for an Oregon Pinot! Going to age well for awhile.

Delicate, fresh, nice minerals. Beautiful.

Holding up better than some of my 2002 PC and GC Burgundy’s. Not all but many. On riper side.

Young but delicious. Better with air.

2018 is special

I love Beaux Freres but this bottle was not what I had hoped. Uninteresting and that’s not the usual profile for Upper Terraces. It might have been either the wine is a little old or my taste buds. I’ll try again tomorrow☘️🇮🇪🍀

So a delicious willamette Pinot. Light earth and well balanced

2007. Open for business. Bing cherries and dirt. Funk yes this wine is yum!

Some funk at first. Blew off quickly. Opened to aromatics of sour cherries, anise, vanilla, lavender. Love the acid component from a wonderful cool vintage.

Gently taking me by the finger and leading me out behind the barn to make out under the stars. Acidity lasts like a first love, and just as confusingly romantic. I won't forget this wine.
