Beautiful nose. Oregon Pinot not trying to be anything but classic Oregon Pinot. Very elegant style.

Another L&S wine with a nose that draws you in. A spicy palate earthy fruit and a stony finish.

Pure Oregon Pinot. Well made. Bright burgundy fruit. Cranberry and rhubarb. Crisp fruit, earthy undertones, and good acidity on the finish. Again, new world meets old world.

That nose is dirty earth but the palette bursts with tart cherry, spice, earthen notes and a bit of lingering cola on the finish. This ain't your French Pinot but it's perfect as a transition red into fall.

Deep burgundy color. Tart red fruit and earthiness on the nose with just a slight hint of smoke. Deep cherry, rhubarb, and some damp earth. Lingering finish. Good stuff.
