Stunning Pinot Noir from Willamette! Luscious strawberry and dark cherries, and a nice leafy herbality on the nose and pallet, sliding into a white cracked pepper and black tea on the back and sides of your tongue. Just as you fall into comfort, it all fades into bliss, leaving a pleasant truffle and vanilla oak wrapping that begs you for a second sip, and a third. Definitely for a French Pinot aficionado to try as well!

Evolved considerably sinned tasting last fall. Dark and stormy, and softens nicely with air.

The nose is earthy and intriguing with Nordic baking spaces but terribly austere in the palette. Either needs food or age, or it just bound to disssappinent.

Distinctively dark in color and spicy in flavor, this was large scaled and definitely needed time to breathe. Built for the long haul.
