Medium Ruby with elegant red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, sourced from 20 acres of organically dry-farmed Pinot noir on south-facing slopes in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. On the palate flavors of cherry and cranberry with notes of tea, herb pepper, floral with wet stone notes. Soft tannins on a long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral notes. Very Nice!

Shimmering ruby. Smoky, spice-tinged black raspberry and cherry aromas carry a subtle floral topnote. Lively dark fruit and floral pastille flavors are deepened by a licorice nuance and a hint of bitter chocolate. Silky in texture and appealingly sweet, finishing with sharp focus and spicy persistence. 20% new French oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2020)

Excellent light and easy drinking 13.5%. After many years finally a good one of this cuvée from the Burgundian Jadot Family outfit in Oregon.

1 person found it helpfulJan 23rd, 2022The outfit from Louis Jadot in Oregon. The first vintage was brilliant. This not so much. I reviewed this before. Age made no difference lacks stuffing and and even at 28$ not recommended. Dark fruit hint blackberry. touch bitter. I have not gone back to any newer vintages a real disappointment.

1 person found it helpfulFeb 3rd, 2021Has a French touch. A ripe style despite 13.5%. 2016 was a hot year. Mostly dark fruit, black tea, just a hint of cherry 🍒 and raspberry. Faint whiff of cardamom and mint. Fantastic tannin management. More big than elegant. Long and complex. For the money a really good wine. Days later on my Argon line even better.

2015 Vintage- ya know, I wanna like this, but I just don’t know about it. Took a day to open up. And now it’s gone super quick. Maybe just lay it down and leave it alone for like 2 years.
