Rich ripe fruit. Med acidity, another Willamette winner from the 12 vintage #oregonpinotnoir

Have yet to taste a 12 from WV that I haven't dug. Grapey in youth but perfectly integrated acid. Perfect vintage. The carpet cleaner is equally as awesome when I spill it from over excitement

Plenty of aeration reveals a deft balance of density and silkiness.

The vintage some from the major wine media irresponsibly panned before the grapes were even picked. This seven year old is ready for those who appreciate supple, elegant, nuanced subtleties and complexity. Drink now thru another 10 years.
