The best 2012 Oregon Pinot I have tasted to date. Reduced at first but with aeration showed a multifaceted bouquet of red cherries , blood orange , pomegranate with a savoy/ saline component accented by red flower nuances . The palate is in prefect harmony with good acidity that keeps the wine fresh focused and precise. Does not have the heaviness that most 2012s do. A stunning bottle and worth the effort to find . From vines planted between 1967 and 1973.

Nose needs a few years to develop. Palate is gorgeous now and will remain so for decades.

In 1965 they planted the first Pinot Noir vines in the Willamette Valley and since then they've been producing some of the best Pinots around!
