Ruby red color with aromas of dark berry fruits, cedar and spicy forest floor notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry, blackberry, and crushed red cherries with notes of cedar and baking spice, lively acidity, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy notes. Drinking well! Pair this with a pork roast or Salmon with a balsamic glaze. — 7 months ago
Date night with hubs on MV. Cherry cola flavors. — 8 months ago
No fruit here! Just plenty of earth. Slightly skunky on the nose in the best way. 2 more in the cellar ... can’t wait to see where they go! — 4 years ago

Oh boy very sweetish. Plums, black tea just too much for me. — 3 months ago
Enjoyed fruit taste. However, the lemongrass taste I preferred it to be milder. Finish was good. — 4 months ago
Enjoying this, though it’s lower tannin than you might find a cab from other CA regions. Blackberry and leather on the nose that moves toward dark chocolate as it opens up. A bit earthy but some dark fruit too. Smooth and velvety, probably not going to age better from here. — 8 months ago

Not bad at all. Full body. Long finish & well balanced🍷 — 4 months ago
I’d say these wines are overrated. Second of the 2012’s I picked up. Dark fruit, supple but not that interesting. — 4 months ago

Lots of red fruit — raspberry, dark cherry — plus blackberry underneath. Vanilla and cola notes, along with some forest floor earthiness. Easy to drink 7 years in. More fruit forward than other vintages I’ve had. Quite good. — 6 months ago
This is Clos Pepe’s Dark Side bottling, which they only made a few times. What an excellent PN, loaded with dark cherries, other dark fruits and some cola. There was a little left in the decanter about an hour or so after dinner and the fruit was gone as well as the long sweet finish. I had opened and decanted it about an hour before dinner and maybe that was too much time but got through dinner fine. — 8 months ago

Black cherry and raspberry fruit with a hint of mandarin orange, mineral notes and beautiful balance. — 9 months ago
The Eyrie Vineyards, Pinot Gris, from the Dundee Hills of Oregon. Vintage 2017. ABV 12.5%.
Bright citrus and tart melon and cantaloupe notes with some salinity and wet stone influences. Very refreshing and youthful.
Easy to pair with food, we have paired it with roasted bok choy, aubergine, and brown jasmine rice. It goes nicely and doesn’t compete with the tamari and sesame flavors. — 3 years ago
Stunning wine from an elegant vintage. 2011 consumed in March 2018.
Graceful and breathy. Such an amazing core of fruit considering the flimsy examples from many other wineries from this year. Just now starting to plateau with 5 to 7 more years to go! — 6 years ago
Yum, yum, yum. ... — 9 years ago
Still the best Oregon white I've ever had. Rocking acid, nice nose, great finish. White Burgundy Doppelgänger, but at a fraction of the cost. — 9 years ago

This was a big boy. Sweat nose and full body, yet elegant. Tannin structure still there and pleasant on the palate. Black fruits with a pepper kick. Lingering finish makes you want more. — 3 months ago
