This Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is drinking well after aging for the past ~5 years. Begins with exceedingly earthy aromas of forest floor, mushroom & notes of dried cherry. Once allowed to decant (1+ hour) the fruit becomes more apparent on the nose & the palate wirh cherry & pomegranate flavors along with some surprisingly grippy tannins & a cola note on a relatively quick finish. Paired wonderfully with a charcuterie & cheese board!  ($16) [7/29/21]

Concentrated cherry, forest floor, subtle oak toast, spice and nice acid.

Initial impression was extremely feminine. Bright red fruit and gentle acidity with med tannin. That being said, the finish is a bit precipitous. Nothing memorable. Fantastic quaffing wine.

A wonderful Pinot noir, smooth taste. Slightly more pricey compared to comparable Pinots.
