It’s a shame. I liked this wine. The 2020 tasted bad. Not sure of wine flaw, but I’m disappointed!!

Oct 14th, 2022Tried several bottles, all great! Founded by Cody and Marque Wright, yes that family of the great Ken Wright Pinot’s very nice small production Pinot, 1700 cases, sourced from 8 vineyards. Ruby, purple hues with aromas of blue and red fruits with an array of spices. On the palate youthful flavors of cherry and fresh strawberry, licorice notes with elegant spice. Fine tannins, long ending with fruit and tangy spice and mineral notes. Great now but a few years will bring out more of the wines complexity.

Dec 12th, 2020Revisited. Still unfiltered, still some sediment - but definitely better the 2nd time around. A bit funky- but still interesting- like strawberry hibiscus jam on Grandma’a flour biscuits.

Funky aroma. The bouquet leans towards the yeast rather than the grapes. Lot of sediment.

Surprisingly nice. Strawberries. Somewhat delicate with decent acidity. I’d revisit the 2018. First timer….

Pinot Noir blend of fruit from eight different Willamette vineyards. Beautiful organic-based nose of mushroom, tobacco, lavender and freshly turned wet soil. Just a bit of dark cherry. The pallet is light with black cherry, cranberry and black raspberry fruit with some notes of cola and spice. Light color and body. Elegant. Excellent QPR for a Willamette Pinot. Thank you for sharing, Kase!
