Very nice Oregon Pinot

Who says Pinot from the US doesn't age? This Oregon site has proven a winner for many wineries, and I'm just glad I have several more bottles to see where this one goes in the future.

Initially this seems closed with a subtly funky herbal/medicinal aromatic note, better on the palate, richer and denser than the 1998 Seven Springs, also a bit of a chalky note in the finish. Getting ready to BBQ some more fresh Copper River wild salmon, hopefully the funk will dissipate by the time the salmon is ready?!?!

Jun 11th, 2026En Magnum — This shows more wild herb, faintly grassy, and chalky redfruits, also a tad leaner fruit wise than the richer 2000 SS, still showing some tannin, this may last longer than the 2000 SS, but lacks a little charm in comparison.

Jan 11th, 2025Floral and rich redfruit aromas and flavors, very youthful still, nice structure, excellent depth, need 5-10 more years based on this bottle, wow!!

Oct 31st, 2023Lovely floral, earthy, and red fruited aromas and flavors, soft tannins, not quite fully mature, but lovely with first of season Copper River salmon!!

Jun 6th, 2021Still quite closed and somewhat backward for a 21-year-old Pinot (way more so than the ‘99 Brickhouse), rich redfruits, quite complex, still pretty structured, needs 5-10 more years, long finish, excellent.
