First time we tried this Pinot Noir at restaurant and it was a smart choice. An excellent wine indeed.

A good Orion pinot, little oaky, but otherwise light bodied, good nose

Fruit forward but dark, deep for a Pinot, smooth and refined palate, well balanced…sublime in many ways, this Pinot is a discovery from the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Unfortunately, it just followed a Mueller…one of the supreme Pinots. Still…nice, drink again.

I liked but did not love this Pinot noir. Had a bit of a bite on the finish.

Medium bodied, textbook Oregon Pinot from the McMinnville sub-AVA within Willamette Valley. This is very approachable and straightforward with raspberries and subtle earth. Matured for nine months in French oak (10% new). 13.9% abv. $19
