A late (defunct) and much lamented PN producer known for its fine whole cluster fermented wines. This was solid above average Pinot Noir, second best red wine tasting of the night

2007 was drinking great. Mature but still fresh and lively. Secondary flavors emerging but don’t overshadow the core fruit profile. Light tart cranberry/raspberry

New world fruit with old school winemaking this is a classic Oregon Pinot in the Making . Aromas of red flower , spice , dried herbs , red cherry give way on the palate Elegance and power with dominating blue and red fruits a savory component and a saline /minerals finish needs a few years but should be great .

The twiggiest of the twig and branches that make up the nose of a classic Pinot noir. This is room filling.
Cranberry, raspberry mushroom (hen of the woods and enoki), mouth watering afterthoughts of these fruits turn into a tannic interlude, within the light to medium body - an embrace of the tea tannins that linger on..

A great Pinot Noir. Thank you Cris and Tom.

Nervous. In a good way. Positive and grippy tannins kick in on the finish. Needs another few years.

Harvest strategy planning with a great wine from a warm vintage. Great density and mouthfeel.
