Dark fruit with cocoa and earthy undertones. Smooth and lean. Nice complexity and density for its price.

I disagree with lots of reviews on this wine . This is fantastic for the price ! Good acidity , intense cherry fruits . Not at all jammy whoever wrote that . This is great value Oregon Pinot & Biodynamic as well

Profile of tobacco, smoke, red cherry and flowers. Acidity has mellowed a bit and the texture on the palate is soft. Really beautiful, and came into its own on day 2.

Wow, this is A LOT better than I remember it - major difference between the '10 which I wasn't a fan of and this '12. Dark, exotic color and nose, with some classic Oregon underbrush and earl grey, vanilla, cola, and florals. The palate is more extracted than most, not unlike Penner Ash on a budget. Dark cherry, spice, smooth as silk. I like this a lot.

A blend of all blocks of the estate vineyard. All biodynamic.
Fully resolved tannins, mostly tertiary notes, with fleeting cranberry and raspberry fruit. Elegant but short lived.

Opened really hot, but settled down and became a medium weight pinot that was slightly jammy and sloppy but with some cherry and raspberry notes. Decent acidity and worked with the food.

black fruits (cherry, plum, cranberry) with a lingering undercurrent of spice and earth, and delicate structure. The mouth feel is smooth and coating, but short. Still quite sour on the finish, but the tannins help to balance this. Could be more focused. Again, the bottle did not last long enough to observe development.

Dark fruit, black cherry and currant. The #wine is still lively. Not over the hill, but ready to drink.
