Nice and buttery, not anything super special — 6 years ago
Nice! Definitely a good aged time. One of the better bets we’ve made at traders. Worth the $30 price tag and would get again. — 7 years ago

Good structure, velvet tannins, tar, flowers and sun ripened red fruits — 4 years ago
Very much enjoyed but something held it back from loving. I think it lacked a little richness to be really a top notch wine. That being said had a mild sweetness and bite and will definitely get again. — 6 years ago
Wow, still could age more but spectacular — 6 years ago
Really tasty Napa Chardonnay with a nice balance of creaminess and minerality. Not too oaky, not too steely, but just right, with a touch of nutmeg on top. Enjoyed the 2016 vintage with lobster bisque and a grilled 3-lb lobster at The Palm Restaurant in LA. — 7 years ago
In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame.
In wine, Coriolis is a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir from Maggie Harrison's Antica Terra.
The back label says "The mathematical expression for the Coriolis force appeared in an 1835 paper by French scientist Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis, in connection with the theory of water wheels. This wine takes the name Coriolis and with it the symbol of the water wheel: a manifestation of the conversion of free-flowing energy into useful forms of power. One hundred percent of the profits from the sale of this wine are donated to charity. In this way this wine supports the conversion of ideas into powerful actions that serve a greater good."
One of those charities is Phil Knight's Cancer Challenge, so I guess you could say this wine is helping to cure cancer. If that's not reason enough to drink it, the wine is drop dead gorgeous. Opens with wild fruit purity of cherry, red currant and even then pushes towards raspberry, which leads into a salty minerality that plays really well off its subtle floral and citrus tones. While it's loaded with tart fruit and even citrus acidity, it finishes with length and exceptional silkiness, a testament to its balance. Beautiful. — 8 years ago
Medium ruby in color; cherries, hibiscus, and dried leaves on the nose; residual sugar, medium plus acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like candied cherries, blackberries, and wet slate with a long finish. I think it will pair well with a cheeseburger. — 8 months ago
This dark wine has a fruity nose of blackberry and plum, but there are some more savory notes as well. Black pepper, cigar box and black olive also come through. On the palate, licorice and plums are in the forefront of one of the fruitier flavor profiles I have tasted in Apulian Primitivos. The 16% alcohol is not as overpowering as I imagined it would be. The tannins are fairly forceful and the acidity is refreshing. This wine drinks really well and will pair nicely with a marbled rib eye steak. — 5 years ago
So dense and velvety ... notes of burgundy with charred citrus and sandalwood... touches of rose but extracted red fruit ... desiccated cherry with tobacco, clay, and bramble. Super concentrated for Willamette. — 6 years ago
Dry Brachetto. Bright, easy drinking, very versatile. Pretty nose - strawberry, red cherry, roses . Reminded me of frappato — 7 years ago
WNH event number 4. Perfect Pizza Pairing bottles. Not a bad bottle in the bunch!
My contribution. I was told that even though this is a Rosé, it drinks like a pinot. Couldn’t agree more. Dark ruby in the glass. Aromatically it was ripe strawberry, sage and vibrant citrus notes. Concentrated, yet light on the palate. Bing cherry, dragon fruit, watermelon finish. Incredible Rosé that should be viewed as a pinot. — 7 years ago
