Really really young, but give it til the second glass and it's really good actually. The nose starts with lots of earth and dark spice, but that blows off and you're left with ripe cherry, cranberry, and a touch of tobacco.. The palate gets really smooth as it airs out.. It just needs some time and babying. Great entry-level Oregon Pinot though and has a pretty plush mouthfeel for being $15!

Nothing wrong with this Pinot but nothing that's gets me excited.

Good entry level Pinot from Oregon. Cherry and rhubarb with hints of tobacco.

This is an above average Pinot that grows on you with each sip. 2014 had lots of red fruits, good balance and nice finish.

Nice earthy Pinot. Good fruit, medium finish. Overall very drinkable; not exceptional.

Forever a favorite. A good expression of Pinot in my opinion.

Fruit is okay, but very thin for an Oregon Pinot Noir. Not my favorite, but it's okay.

This was an excellent pinot nor for Thanksgiving! It was light but had enough acidity to stand up to a heavy meal. Aromas of cranberry, and barnyard animal were perfect with the turkey and sausage stuffing. Would like to buy again. This was the 2014 vintage

It's fresh and crisp like a bit young, but it matures quickly once opened. Balanced earth and fruit. Looking forward to pairing with thanksgiving dinner.
