Three common clones in Willamette here in RRV, and I get that on the nose, especially the Pommard. But the body is huge by comparison, to Oregon. Earthy and fruity, good acid.

Good, but needs more time in the bottle. Should soften in a year or so.

Received April 2015. Was to be consumed between then and 4 to 6 years. Consumed November 2015. Should have waited longer.

A light berry nose, a little sweet but with an odd hint of vinegar. The palate is soft and pillowy with a smokey bite.
