I had a glass of this at Aldo Sohm Wine Bar a couple months ago. It tastes similar to the McKinley Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Burgundian in style, like a good Bourgogne rouge. Light, simple & easy drinking. Oregon has such great weather compared to Burgundy. Rarely a shitty vintage. I think the wines are better quality at this point. I know it sounds crazy & obviously a different style but I prefer Oregon Pinot Noirs. They’ve improved so much and they are great with many different types of food. Burgundy is always disappointing, often way too dry for me and too expensive unfortunately. And the Chardonnay they grow out in Oregon is awesome as well . I’m out of the burgundy game. Tough luck.

Well made. Aromas of spices and cherries, taste of strawberries, minerals good acidity. Easy sipper. Will look for this one again.
