We had the 2018 Vintage on 7/2-3/22. This is a good, fruit forward and Medium bodied Oregonian Pinot Noir. The tannins smoothed out on the second day. There were tastes of black cherry, cranberry, spice and a touch of cola. The bouquet had black cherry and sage. This is a good wine; the First Class is a nicer wine. — 2 days ago

9.1

We had the 2009 and 2010 Vintages in a vertical tasting on 6/26/22. The 2009 had a more floral bouquet. The 2010 was more minerality and earthy. The 2010 got better with aeration. Tastes of black cherry and cassis. The 2009 was more red berry. For both the tannins smoothed out. Both had long finishes. Both, of course were classic Old World; have to consider them medium bodied. — 9 days ago

We had the 2016 vintage with the 2014 on 6/11-12/22. We had a vertical tasting. 2014 vintage is rated 85; 2016 rated 93. The earlier vintage was more fruit forward; the latter a bit earthier. The 2016 had some tannins that needed to be smoothed out with aeration. Two good wines. — 24 days ago
