Lovely example of a fuller, bigger Pinot from Oregon, but still balanced and elegant. Intensely flavored layers of baked red fruit, really pleasing. Herbal notes on the end, medium body. Still, plenty of great examples of this kind of wine for much lower price.

This is one heck of a good step up from the Estate bottling. Ben Casteel chose the best of the Estate fruit to make this wine.
Ripe, but quite balanced(trademark Bethel). Round fruits, well integrated oak and a finish that just won't quit.

Consistently my favorite Bethel Heights Pinot Noir. Attractive on the nose and a balanced flavorful wine. Ripe cherry flavors.
