Hard candy (Ludens) aromatics consistent with whole cluster ferment and great texture from all those stems. Punches at a middle weight class and beautiful balance of toast, fruit, and texture.

The acidity has softened but is still present, which supports and highlights the fruit notes of the wine.

Straight up one of the best domestic pinots I've ever had. Nice work, Oregon.

Even for it being open for a few days, this wine is still silky with cherry and red fruit on the palate. Great for anytime, this time to enjoy while cooking!

Direct from the block I happen to reside on. Clustery, tangy, nice spice, not too weighty. A nice 12 from a die hard 2011 person.
