My fav bartender had a ‘15 laying around and gave me a taste. Sat in French oak for 9 months, red fruit & spice aromas. On the palate cherry & strawberry flavors, tea and cinnamon spice. Fine tannins, medium+ ending with herbal earthy tones. Consistent with ‘16 I previously tasted. Nice bar wine offering. Tasting Sample.

Apr 14th, 2018Really nice entry level OR PN. Joined this list last year due to the QPR they deliver. Notably no funk on the twist and pour. Caramel on the nose, bing cherry and raspberry on the mid palate. A nice smooth finish, well balanced with lively acidity. At $25, I think a steal.

Jan 26th, 2018Darker on color and taste than I expected for a Dundee Pinot. Ripe, stewed cherries, healthy dose of oak, some cigar box. Gets better as it opens up, but missing the funkiness and lightness I love in a OR Pinot. Great if you like heavier wines, you could pair this like a light Syrah.
