Vivid red. Zesty, spice-accented red berries and cherry on the incisive nose and in the mouth. Lithe and precise, carrying no excess weight; a touch of sweet rose pastille emerges as the wine opens up. In a clean and racy style, finishing with firm spicy bite and fine-grained tannins that lend shape and subtle grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Dec 2016)

This is a terrific value at $15. This is better than many other OR Pinots at twice the price. Excellent balance and very good fruit without being close to over extracted. Light color, red fruit, spices, medium bodied, decent finish. What more could you want for $15.

Light drinking Valley Pinot with secondary notes of rose hips, clove and allspice to keep it interesting.

2021 Resplendor Pinot Gris. A buttery, mineraly white with a subtle citrus undertone. An excellent and refreshing summer white wine.

Cherries, spice, cranberry, some rocks, flowers, lingering finish, pine forest. Love it. Everything I’d want from a weeknight Oregon pinot. Crushable but makes you think about it just enough.

Youch. This is the worst type Oregon Pinot. Light, sour and one dimensional. Like the worst of the 2007s. Surprising because 2018 is usually solid.
