Honest pour to relax at my new digs after a hard day of work. 2800 cases made. Ruby red, light to moderate pigment extraction, excellent clarity. Fresh raspberry and strawberry aromas with a touch of funk. Intense raspberry flavor with strawberry and a hint of cherry. Light skin astringency, medium weight tannins, good acid but not quite tart. Could use a little time to take the edge off those skin tannins, at least 30 minutes. Solid fruit-forward Oregon pinot, with emphasis on fresh red fruit character; summer in a glass, Willamette Valley style. Good value too.

Notes of ripe black cherry, violet, jasmine, toasted strawberry pastry. A really nice subtle smoke and dirt aroma behind all that fruit. Medium bodied Pinot with a fresh acid. 2013 Vintage give it a few more years of bottle aging but it has a lot of potential. #beauty #pinotnoir #dundeehills #oregon #wine #USA

Kinda sweet. A bit of heat, but still tasty.
