Purple in color. The nose has cherries and a bit of celery. On the palate, this lacks ripeness. Some cherries but a mean green streak. Not sure if this is the house style or a vintage characteristic. Food helps, but I would prefer some fruit and less green notes. It seems well made but perhaps the fruit was picked too early (at least for my tastes).
Great wine. One of the best Oregon Pinot's I have had. Ruby/purple in color. The nose has cherries, sour cherries, slight earthiness and sandalwood. Medium to full bodies. Middle of the road in style, a bit of elegance and some power. Cherries, sour cherries and earthiness. Still young, it will continue to develop for at least five probably ten years before peak. Lovely texture. Nice balance.
This is a Pinot Noir based wine that is cryogenically frozen. Light ruby in color. On the nose its got some cherries but a vegetal note. On the palate, this is ok but its a bit cloying. A little goes a long way.
Purple in color. The nose is tight. Cherries and spice. On the palate, slight tannins. Black cherry fruit. Big wine. Needs a year.
Purple in color. The nose is powerful; cherries and charcoal. Cherries and spice on the palate. Bold wine. Big. This was the best of a vertical from 06 to 16 suggesting that this is a wine to drink younger.
Purple/ruby in color. The nose has spice and cherries. The palate matches the nose. This is young and bold. Drinking well now if primary. Nice finish.
Ruby in color. The nose has sandalwood and cherries. Cherries and spice on the palate. Drinking well now if still a bit young. Nice finish.
Ruby/purple in color. Slight barnyard funk along with some nice cherry fruit. On the palate sour cherries but also a slight vegetal note. Seems like a solid wine but perhaps a bit under ripe.
Ruby in color, purple core. The nose has cherry juice. On the palate, this is a bit more elegant. Cherries and spice. Some sour cherries. Good acidity. Long finish. Good match with food.
Deep ruby in color. The nose has light cherries and spice. Much better on the palate. Complex layers of cherries and earth. Also some black cherries. Drinking well. Long finish.
