1st off- this wine just won’t die! I’m on day 4 and am sorry that I failed to make notes on day 1. biodynamic grown, ambient yeast ferment. unfined/unfiltered. savory native yeast still present-with dried and fresh raspberry, bing cherry. silky texture. medium long integrated tannins, medium + acid. I really enjoy this wine- I can’t say it’s the ‘best’ pinot noir I’ve had but it’s definitely one of the most delicious, complex, alive PN i’ve ever had! McMinnville AVA

Checking back in on the 2010. Stunning. Plenty of life but so pleasing now.

Thrilled to still find this on the table, at 2:45. Smokey, black cherry, underbrush, liquorice, sage, fresh lavender. 2010 is quite scintillating.

An intense, vibrant, and concentrated example of Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley from this biodynamic estate.

Thought this would show the bottle age, but it drinks like a current release. All exuberance, classic Pommardian nose, love all that cherry cola & black tea, just pretty. Could smell it all day. Med (-) on palate, maybe lacking some stuffing, but elegant & well-made w/modest finish.
