Medium ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of red cherry, red plum, subtle raspberry, subtle ripe blackberry; dry, medium acid, medium minus tannins, medium alcohol, medium intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium finish, fruit a bit riper and juicier than I’m accustomed to, only moderately complex with mostly primary fruit notes

2017. From New Seasons. Too light in body. Will not purchase again.

Decant and enjoy the profile — the tannins aren’t insurmountable... but they are at the forefront. After decanting: cherries, yeasty chocolate, and sherry.

Ripe red cherries, roses and vanilla. Bright fruit and flowers, but a touch sweet for my palate.

Delicious! Dried cherries, long finish, in perfect form.

I am not a big fan of Pinot Noir or wines from Oregon but I bought this because the label is beautiful 😍. I have had it displayed for a long time but decided to opened it tonight to go with a charcuterie board I was serving. I am very glad to say that it paired perfectly and was delicious. It is pleasantly dry with strong hints of cherry and vanilla and with a slightly smokey finish. It might change my mind about PN and Oregon wines.

Smooth cherry flavor, mild tannins, but delicious with pasta and red sauce. 2017 vintage. Oregon has the best Pinot noirs!

Excellent! We'll balanced tart cherry, raspberry, mushrooms, and cloves. Opened about 30 minutes prior to drinking.
