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

Only ever had Teutonic whites and a 13 red- they really killed this 14! A nice mix of elegance, spice and drinkability. Youthful, fun. — 9 years ago

I love this wine! 70% whole cluster, calera, pomard, 667 and some suitcase clones... Powerful and elegant. Tasting great now and long age ability — 9 years ago

Enjoyed this. Best CA Pinot had in a while. Definitely on the fresher side and enjoyed the whole cluster aromatics. Will be excited to watch this domaine in the future — 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

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

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

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

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

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

One of the better domestic pinots I've had this year. Not sure how much whole cluster but really well integrated. Beaute. — 10 years ago
