'06 might become one of my favorite Willamette vintages. The '07 of the same juice proves to be quite thin (not my style), but this bottle proved to be full of flavor. Concrete and raspberry on the nose. Forest floor, cherry and slight caramel with a long and silky smooth finish. If you put this in front of me with no label, I'd probably guess it's a 13' or 14' due to its richness - even after a decanting. There will probably drink well for the next 10 years.

Mag. Ripe and forward style, lots of concentration. A little bit of barnyard but...ca ne fait pas beauf!

this juicy red was very satisfying. It really opened up after 30 minutes of opening the wine. Raspberry and cherry notes intertwined with caramel. Smooth and lengthy finish

Fantastic Pinot with deep red flavors. I tasted a hint of cherry that wasn't overbearing and thick earthy tones. Probably a warmer summer grape that went surprisingly well with a pesto chicken and baked potato.
