Rainy day. Leather chair. Time to fade out into the night. This is about as ripe, rich, and Cali-style as a Willamette Pinot gets. All cola and milk-chocolate covered strawberries and Maraschino cherries with a bit of cooling menthol on the back-palate. Against my typical preferences, kinda where I wanted to land tonight.

Ruby with aromas of berries, floral and herb notes. Grapes sourced from younger vines, on the palate tart cherry fruit, with notes of currants, some pepper spice, mushroom and earthy oak notes. Aged for 10 months on French oak, fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy character. Very nice.

Stunning, just stunning, Oregon Pinot. Rich and dense with sage, mushroom, and plums. It’s so light and elegant too, it defies sense.
Drink the ‘15 fast because it’s on its way out, but make certain to savor every sip.

Willamette Valley is criminally underrated.
Leather. Dark cherry. It low key smells like a bbq smokehouse.
Outstanding.

Young, a little tight...tobacco, tea, and cherry-cranberry w/ cinnamon and licorice finish. Should be even better with a little time.
