Really like this one already now but will save next one for year or two forward. Great structure.

Always a special treat to attend the Wednesday Wine Committee. The hosts always bring out excellent wines!

Probably the best Oregon Pinot I've ever tasted. People thought it was a Russian River Valley Pinot with all the cola on it. Very dense. Excellent showing from Oregon!

Refined fruit, with brawny woodsy spices. Like if Bruce Wayne decided to fight off the lumber industry in Oregon. Cherries, dried strawberries, smoky spices, and a think slap of lumber to the jaw. So great

Hey oh! Amazing cranberry, dark cherry fruit profile, with such a brawny smoky wood and spicy side. Like BruceWayne dressed in flannel. Refined, complex, rich...yet woodsy and can knock your teeth out.

Ripe. Almost like a California Pinot. Very well balanced. Good floral and red fruit characteristics.
