Classic Oregon Pinot Noir. Well made, balanced, will cellar well. Fantastic earth offsets the ripe fruit and deep cola flavors.

A nose of chocolate covered cherries. A very nice cherry beginning, smooth mid palate and a nice spicy finish! 2012 tends to be a jammy year for Pinots! I am really diggin this one!

Single block production. Strong aroma and fullness of taste of Oregon. Nice and young.
