The "vintage" is the bottling year. Lovely dark fruit, (figs, raisins, plums) along with some molasses sweetness. Sweet Mother makes a pronounced guest appearance. She's always welcome.
Update: she's been hanging out on my counter and has opened up, exposing even more raisiny dark fruit delightfulness. Sweet Mother has been blended nicely into its fold of tasty happiness. To quote a great wine aficionado, smiling on a Monday is better than not smiling. Go Tigers! — 8 years ago

Im not really a rose aficionado but wanted something a little different than just white on a hot summer afternoon and red just was not an option. I was completely impressed! Great body, refreshing not to light with a hint of fruit at the end of every sip. I would definitely have this at home for guests who wants to try something new. — 10 years ago

Loved it - no wonder it has won so many awards. Top notch Chenin Blanc. Clean, crisp, and very good flavor. Makes a good Pinot Grigio taste like tap water. Glad my wine aficionado neighbor introduced this to us. — 10 years ago

Fresh strawberries and light, fresh herbs. A light chill would make this the perfect red porch pounder, even for the aficionado. — 9 years ago

Stunning Pinot Noir from Willamette! Luscious strawberry and dark cherries, and a nice leafy herbality on the nose and pallet, sliding into a white cracked pepper and black tea on the back and sides of your tongue. Just as you fall into comfort, it all fades into bliss, leaving a pleasant truffle and vanilla oak wrapping that begs you for a second sip, and a third. Definitely for a French Pinot aficionado to try as well! — 10 years ago

I don't normally drink desert wine, but when I do....

Kidding aside this is killer, acidity , freshness tannin, it offers a great experience for the wine aficionado and the novice.

Black cherry, cassis. As huge as it is it is just as fresh. Full bodied , fresh acidity and ripe tannins. 13.5 abv!

Not an Oregon aficionado. But this was stellar for the price. Amazing what a nice wine will do to an otherwise cheesy label. — 12 years ago

Im no Rose aficionado, but this is very good, perfect for spring & summer or vacation, time to pull some other cheap whites out of the suit case and add a couple of these.

I am not a Sherry aficionado for sure but after visiting Jerez, Spain last year and remembering how much I liked PX. This did not disappoint. Drank it whole eating 3 flavors of gelato and it was fabulous. The smooth rich flavor was the perfect end to a perfect meal — 9 years ago

I really love this one. Maybe not quite as good, but similar, to Tolo. Very light and drinkable Zin with bright fruit. Would never impress a real aficionado but lovely to me right now. — 12 years ago
