Lazy River Vineyard Pinot Noir

Very pleasant surprise - dry and stemmy bright red cherry, raspberry and tea notes with a lightly perfumes nose of red flowers.

Rolling cooked red and black cherries and rose petals on the tongue. Soft and well balanced. Barnyard nose. Easy finish

Single vineyard Oregon Pinot Noir- one of the best.

Dried mushrooms and raspberry on nose. Rose/violet full mouthfeel. Nice structure balanced acid Dusty earthy flavors. Very good.

Love all of her wines. Difficult to pick a favorite. Lazy River has a bit more depth both on flavor and color than her other wines. Beautiful. Tastes even better when we get to enjoy with the winemaker. Isabelle Mugnier is simply one of the best.

Bottle No 0487- the nose keeps changing as I drink it. Starts out earthy, and licorice and turns into dark fruit. Dark fruit in the palate.
