Purple-red, thin pigment extraction. Aromas of leather, sweet floral and black currant. Flavors of vanilla, honey and oodles of raspberry. An opulent fruit-forward Pinot, given its age. Light acidity, good body, well balanced

Not a straight win for our anniversary dinner. I enjoyed it. He didn't. Definitely needs food and perhaps more air before drinking.

Fruit in the nose initially, then turns to a light tar and smoke. Light bodied and has good flavor. Not too bold. Has a fruity flavor with lots of cherries.

Beautifully balanced Pinot with bright red fruit. Fruit from the cooler part of Umpqua Valley so profile is typical cooler climate

Earthy Rhubarb and spice. Seamless and fabulous with great balance of power and finesse.
