Dark amethyst. Inviting, voluptuous nose of blackberry and violets. Echoed on the medium full, fruit-forward palate adding juicy black cherry and a hint of earthenware. Medium tannins and medium plus acidity. Excellent Dundee Hills PN that's a great foil for almost any fare, but with enough fruit for on its own drinking. A bridge between California and Burgundy. Drink now through 2026 or even a bit beyond.

Black cherry, raspberry, cranberry, currant, vanilla and oak. Excellent structure and well-integrated tannins.

This is a well built #oregonpinot
Soft blueberry notes on the nose, wet earthy notes, good med plus acidity with some structure to it. Drink now or wait... Your call.

Tasting the 11 and the 12 side by side, each on day 3. The 11 is going strong, the 12 is in a weird mood. #gofigure

Black cherries, raspberries, wild strawberries, vanilla, with a hint of spice. Elegant and ponderous. Great value for the price.
