Oregon Pinot Noir
Dark color for a Pinot, nose of plums and black cherry, fairly simple but enjoyable. The balance is slightly to the fruit side but that is typical of 2012. Wishing for more complexity but not realistic at this price point.

Excellent with grape leaves, surprisingly. It's nice to come back to Boston, my home town, where my intense Burgundian/champenois wine snobbery abates momentarily...

Dec 28th, 2016Pours light red in color. A blast of raspberry followed by strawberry. Earthy notes and subtle vanilla in the aromas. Velvet on the tongue. Tar and berry, but not as definitive as in the nose, highlight the flavors.

Mar 4th, 2015Great color, ripe cherries and strawberries. Great acidity and touch of oak.

Dec 25th, 2014There is an obvious heavier-hand of winemaking here, but if you're going to try New World pinot noir it might as well be from Oregon. An historic producer, although a bit more complexity might be welcomed even the entry level.
