Oregon, USA
We decanted this for a few hours before drinking, based upon my experience with young PNs, in hopes of dispelling the smoky oak and exposing the fruit. Full disclosure: PN is not in my top ten favorite varietals, with the occasional exception which proves the rule (see my previous reviews for the details). It is still quite smoky and oaky, with dark currant, strawberry, and raisin fruits hiding just out of reach in the smoke and wood. This is likely a great PN for enthusiasts of the French style.

Raspberry/strawberry, still needs time, not as much fruit as id expect, fairly hot wine as well . Good spicy finish. Good for the price.

Fruit and slight mineral on the mouth. Some similarities to Burgundy but still distinct. Not AVA specific but a good wine.

It is a good Pinot, I am not very familiar with others in it's class, but it is a nice bitter sweet memory. haha. I would have another glass of it if it came up again.

May 8th, 2017Good wine, a little strong but perfectly drinkable.
Not at all vinegar, but the taste says aged the right way it could be.

Isn't blowing my mind, but pretty solid Oregon Pinot. Medium body but sturdy.
