Opaque ruby. Blueberry and earth nose with touch of red currant. Musk and savoury notes just barely starting to come out of the second nose. Low on fruit, low to mid acidity, high whole cluster tannins in front and back of the mouth. Brooding. Drinks well, needs age. — 7 years ago

Slight hint of reduction that faded with 30 mins. Darker fruit profile than expected, considering the light color and low alcohol. 12.5%. well crafted, well balanced. Great value — 7 years ago

This is in a good place right now. The intense whole cluster fermentation structure is settling down and it's drinking nicely now. Bright red fruits with a lively finish. 2013 vintage. — 9 years ago

A fun wine- all whole cluster and decidedly funky in that way. Also very grapey. #atechnicalterm — 10 years ago

Impromptu meet up at Classic!

Know nothing of this producer. Whoa...whole cluster here? Spicy, crunchy and bramble driven. Very Sta Rita Hills. Rhubarb and cedar smoked nose. The palate is less complex than I expected based on the nose, but it’s still floral with an added cranberry sauce finish. — 7 years ago

Whole cluster fruit. Dried herbs, cranberries, and a tinge of cherry cola. Great mouthfeel, and the flavors roll from fruit to blossoming undergrowth. Wonderful — 9 years ago

Always such well made thoughtful AND thought provoking wines. Grilled rich meat, pepper and dark rich fruit. I prefer the whole cluster but this is excellent. Earthy and vibrant. — 9 years ago

Wonderful Pinot from this trendy new winery. Fruit on the nose with smoke and earthy accents. While the wax was a challenge, it was well worth the wait. — 9 years ago

Whoa Nellie: chilean Pinot Noir by Alsatian producer Ostertag and IT WORKS big time. Petrolly, growly but young. Lets see if can hang in 5-7 yrs. Wow. Vibrant. Some whole cluster which keeps it honest. Wow. — 7 years ago

Day one: Shy on the nose, with some floral elements (roses and violets). Day two: Bright, ripping whole-cluster aromatics! Laser beams of cranberry and herbs on the mid palate, beautiful finish without so much as a shadow of oak. This is pure, no-frills Burgundy fruit without compromise at the humble Bourgogne level. $27 Bottle Barn price- incredible value. Will drink well for easily another 5-7 years. Great play for your $- a modest price of admission for a relatively serious wine. — 7 years ago

Elderberry and licorice. Seems whole cluster to me. Different from the other middle of the road stuff. The 14 is really good! To bad just 7 cases made it to California. Nothing wimpy or thin about this at all. From the Third Corner in Encinitas. I remember Asimov from the NYT being a big fan. — 8 years ago

This has to be one of the most exciting and inventive producers in Oregon! Went through a flight in the tasing room and the things theyre doing with stem use, oak experiments, pump over technique and terroir exploration is like mozart meets dr frankenstein. The wines are flawless and unforgettable. This one is pretty on the nose. Floral and woodsy like potpurri with dried citrus, red currant and soft raspberry. Whole cluster gives it weight and depth while the perfectly balanced acid keeps it lively delicate and light on its feet. Not to be missed. — 9 years ago

Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Passetoutgrains 2013. Quite a bit of whole-cluster tannin present; will become silkier with age; good concentration; refreshing acidity; delicious, savory character developing; another excellent vintage for this wine with more personality than normally offered for classification. Bravo, Yves Confuron. — 9 years ago
