Eyes right for just a mo... pasta and sage with butternut squash. Prep’d for my wife by yours truly 🙂
Now onto the wine... Visited Eminent and it was closed, but they threw me a bone. Looks like a cab in the glass, but the nose gives the game away. This is tightly wound and requires aging. Beautiful fruit support the tannins perfectly. Oak profile is neutral. A strong effort which is below my price pain threshold.

Jammy. Plum, hints of caramel, blueberry to accent the strawberry.

Exceptional vintage, drinking quite nicely, at its prime I’d say. Lovely nose, smooth dry palate, and just a whisper of acidity.

Mushrooms and oak on nose. Medium body, dry, with bing cherries and raspberries. Exceptional vintage!

Really really nice Pinot Noir. Nice soft nose, just a hint of earthiness. Blackberries, dark cherries, mild tannins. Smooth finish.

Outstanding! A great example of Oregon Pinot Noir. Recently bought some more to restock my cellar!

Our favorite of the bunch and obviously the one that's only available to wine club members.
