Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.
This is a very enjoyable Pinot Noir from oregon. Elegant, well balanced and complex.
This 8 year old Pinot Noir will continue to age nically in the next few years. A good quality wine.
I had this vintage 5 years ago, and it is drinking so much better now. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
Good right out the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
Pinot Noir grapes are unfiltered and unfined. A small production of less than 3,000 bottles.

Very strawberry. Rhubarb. Orange juice. Great tannin management. I am not such a big fan of strawberry driven pinots. It’s a good wine but I will step away from big table farm. Eric Asimov from the NYT is a fan. This seems to be their house style. A great wine for sure but for me just too much strawberry compote. Turns plummy after 1 hour open to air.
