Worked 70 hours this week and this is a hell of a Pinot Noir on which to rest my laurels. In reading the reviews, I noticed Derek Hearst thought it suffered from heavy acid, clearly he forgot to properly prepare the wine as a real sommelier would do. Let the wine open up: fruity, dark berries, noticeable absence of tart, medium acidity, tannins - not over the top, rather the mouthfeel continues to remind you of the beautiful Willamette grapes you're currently enjoying. Pair with Black Rhino horn, Minecraft, and dead babies.

They say Oregon is the armpit of Washington and the vas deferens of California. This willamette Pinot has positioned Oregon as the pancreas of this great nation. When I say smooth I'm talking James brown smoking a cigar in studio 54 doing the Cupid shuffle while dabbing and ordering himself a Cristal mimosa smooth. Pairs majestically with almost anything. And when I say anything, I mean go outside and lick the pavement and then wash that taste down with an endless gulp of this Pinot. Don't stop drinking until you can't breathe because at the end of the day, you can have this as your last drink and be totally cool with it. No producer. Label is corked. Bottler has emphysema.

Tart red fruit, dry earth, brambly. A soulful new world Pinot.
