Pretty Pinot. Maybe a hint too much new oak, but balanced. Cherry drop, earth, forest floor, spice, cranberry and
co-mingling acidity. Great wine at the airport waiting to fly to France :)

2013v. The nose on this wine is complex and reserved at the same time: aged cranberry and cherry, rose and potpourri, earth and dried leaves, mushroom and baking spices from the oak. Lots of legs on the glass. Dry on the palette with rich, tart red fruit. Very soft tannins coat the mouth and hang on the finish. I've not had much Oregon pinot, but this is a deep and smooth wine. The flavors of the wine come out best with food, IMO. 13.3% ABV.

Not flashy, but balanced, textured... Some more rustic tannins than I would expect from a 2012 but it's appreciated. Probably opening too soon but paired great with Rabbit Confit.

Well balanced, in a sweet spot between serious Pinot and easy-drinking.

Hard red cherry. Bing. Quite pretty and full of flavor. Dunked red dust. Textbook Oregon Pinot noir. $45

My first oregon pinot. So much nose I loved it. A little fruit forward but acidity and tannin is well balanced. Would try more from this region. 2015v

Took some time to become more balanced, started out quite sour fruit forward.
