Drinking in 2025... really bright and lovely. Could not tell it had aged at all. Bright green apple and just a touch of butter. — 2 months ago

Lovely Pinot Noir under $35. At the end of its life, but still good. I’m sure it lost something because of its age but still a correct Pinot Noir in a classic Willamette elegant style. Solid cherry flavor but elegant and not fruity. — 7 months ago

RPG Vineyards, Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Blanc. Bought at winery. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Good acid, syrupy, viscous body, lees character on finish. Complex wine, a lot going on here. Peach and citrus flavors emerge with time. A well crafted entry-level wine from the former winemaker at Adelsheim — 3 years ago
