Structured Willamette Pinot from McMinnville. Concentration and depth. Hard to read as Pinot between the tannic grip and more muscular fruit components. A gorgeous wine though.

It starts with red fruits, wet rocks, and subtle saline mist on the nose. Then, there’s fresh cherries with smoke and white pepper, associated with mild salty minerals. It ends with a long, almost umami finish. NICE.

Straightforward but tasty - concentrated and earthy with notes of dark cherry and cranberry, with a minerally and slightly salty finish.

Great Oregon Pinot - velvety mouth feel , full of mellow fruits , cassis , hint of spice , with a very smooth finish
