Very classic 2012 richness. Bright, acid driven and good balance.

Aged really nicely! Leather, earthy, smooth.

Part of the Carlton Winemakers Studio shipment - my favorite wine club so far. This wine may have needed more Jim Croce to balance. It's on the verge of being a great wine but isn't quite there. I'd love to have another one in a year or two!

Very nice willamette valley Pinot with a bit more body than most delicate WV pinots. Soft tannins to accompany the trademark WV fruit

Two bottles and both were solidly satisfying! The flavor is subtle at first with a balanced and smooth fruit flavor that sticks to your tongue. Really a fantastic drinking wine....we felt privileged to enjoy.

Part of our wine shipment from Carlton winemakers. Great fruit start with a tart Pinot noir finish. I'm a sucker for Pinot Noirs, this is a good one.
