Very true to form earthy Pinot Noir. Love the earthiness that carries over to the palate! This is one of those Pinot's that you will thoroughly enjoy all the way through!

Light purple in the glass with wide edges. Lilacs, muted cherries, and wet soil on the nose. This is the type of Oregon Pinot that people like me find pleasant but the people who find Oregon boring and overhyped see as evidence. Very lean and a bit thin, this isn’t giving me all the funk I crave from such an earthy wine. Blue fruit, old leather, cherry Coke, and cranberries show on the palate, with some really nice herbs providing some backbone. But there’s still that lack of funk. Nothing exciting whatsoever here but still gets the job done.

Nicely balanced fruit, maturity and acid.
