French oak influence upon the first sniff: clove, vanilla. Ripe juicy red cherry, plum, and blueberry. Earl grey tea, barnyard, peppercorn. Finishes bittersweet. Elevated acidity, medium body, medium minus tannin. Medium plus abv.

Silky, spicy, texturally perfect. Tyson makes some of the best wine in Oregon, including a Pinot and Chardonnay from this site. Four winds is a horse farm, 8 miles northwest of McMinnville, about 6 acres of fruit (?), marine-sedimentary, dense on the palate, acid, fresh. Pretty much perfect. This wine is why you drink Pinot with pork and salmon. Going to be really good in 2020-2021, maybe longer

1.5 liter. Decanted for an hour, this wine was very approachable. In this formate a good four years or greater would bring the dance to you!!! Exceptional

100 cases produced in 2014 from a 4.3 acre vineyard, this is pure and decadent. Nose is sweet, ripe red and blue fruit, lavender, cotton candy, herbs, and soil. A very tactful use of stem inclusion is apparent. Plush in the mouth, firm mid-palate, and an earthy finish that won’t quit. I’m not always nuts about Pinot Noir, but this is both delicate and powerful with loads of character.

Let this open up for about 5 hrs in the bottle and simply incredible. Crowley was one of the highlights of our recent Oregon trip and this reminded me why
