Brilliant scarlet color. Heady, smoke- and spice-tinged red and dark berry aromas pick up floral and musky underbrush nuances with air. Concentrated yet energetic in style, the 2017 shows fine delineation and lift to its juicy cherry, strawberry and redcurrant flavors. Fine-grained tannins sneak in on a long, focused finish that features lingering bitter cherry, floral and baking spice note. I hate to invoke Jean-Nicolas Meo's home turf when it comes to talking about Oregon Pinot but, well, there you go. Aged in 22% new oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2020)

100% Pinot Noir. A little age served this bottle well. Beautifully balanced with pink citrus and red cherry. A perfect summer drink that’s better than it needs to be.

Yeah man. That's a great drinker. There are some wines where having 6-12 bottles per vintage is smart. You know you'll drink them. With this Pinot, the pedigree is there. It might be tough to find but if you do, gobble it up.
