We had the 2013 Vintage on 2/21-22/20. Bright red fruit on the bouquet. Tart cherry, strawberry and pomegranate on the palate. Bright and acidic. Good but not great.

We had this on 10/21-22/18. Terrific PN with balance a silky mouth feel. A medium bodied wine with a smooth finish. Tastes of black raspberry, red cherry, and orange peel.

We had this on 1/28/17. Real good PN with tastes of cherry and earth. Had an Oregonian texture and taste. Smooth, good finish for this medium bodied wine.

Clean, crisp, slightly tart and fruity. Nice aromatic finish. Well paired with steak.
