Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, currant, oak and hints of dried sage. Good structure and moderate tannins.

Almost jammy. Big red fruit (cherry and red currant), with soft fleshy tannins. Hint of cloves on the finish. Very interesting wine :)

This 2012 is dark in color with a nose to match. The flavor is amazing. The light delicate Pinot with a little bump in fruit. Love love ❤️

Nice bottle from the red hills of Dundee. Found in a bottom box in my "cellar." From a trip long ago. Classic Oregon Pinot nose. Rich to start... dark red fruits, light toast, and a smooth finish.

Cherry cola cherry cola cherry cola! Even though the vintage was strong , the oak manipulates and undermines the sense of place. Still tastes super good. I'm starting to understand why Pinot noir is such a polarizing grape...
