This wine has a nice complexity with mineralogy and nice fruit (cherry) and tobacco on the palate. It all comes together with a strong long finish! Nice legs too! — 18 hours ago

Gift from a friend. Ruby red, very good clarity. Aromas of strawberries to the max on initial pour. Fresh wood shavings and licorice as well. Red fruit flavors with eucalyptus and cough syrup character. Fruit fades quickly with its age, but decent acid and mild skin astringency carry through in the aftertaste. Two hours later, plum, cherry skin and spice flavors dominate. Give it time to come together. — a month ago

Really interesting Pinot. This wine is very young and should age very well. Deep ruby color lots of fruit and a lot more tannins. When I opened the bottle the tannins were over bearing and had a grassy aftertaste. When I tasted the same bottle the next day it was FAR more balanced. The fruit was still great but the tannins were much softer and well balanced. This wine can hold up to more cellar time but if I had decanted it would have been better. While this wine was pretty pricey ($100), I think it is worth it! — 17 days ago

Ruby with elegant red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, aged for 11 months in 30% new French oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry and strawberry with notes of herb pepper, licorice with wet stone notes. Soft full tannins on a long finish ending with fruit and savory earthy mineral notes. Very Nice! — 6 months ago

Damn, that’s good!

i’ve rated this wine before – this exact vintage – and I gave it lower ratings. I don’t know if this wine is just improving with age or my taste buds are changing, but this is among the top Pinots I’ve ever had. I’m giving it a 9.6 this time around. This is the best that Willamette has to offer. And it’s better than 99% of the other Pinots I’ve tasted. If you like tight pucker-arsed Pinots this is NOT for you. Absolutely luscious! — a month ago
