Delicious... almost a Burgundy. A bit of sappy cranberry, a touch of green bean, but plenty of rich cherry and orange spice. Probably whole cluster. Biodynamic. SommSelect 2018

Classic 100% whole cluster estate grown native yeast pigeage but needs more time than the 2011 to fully open up.

Nose is dominated by volatile heat out of the glass, also shows some nice dried spice whole cluster components without exhibiting any of that sappy green/resinous character. Shows good restraint and elegance for a 100% whole cluster wine, tannins well integrated. Underlying funk. The more I drink the more interested I become : )

One of the better domestic pinots I've had this year. Not sure how much whole cluster but really well integrated. Beaute.

Makes me want to try more Oregon Pinot which I haven't had a lot of, but this rivals my more familiar CA favorites.

Fantastic willamette standard! Mild eucalyptus nose, robust red fruit character, beautiful rosy color.
