The Four Graces

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Hands down favorite. Well balanced, beautiful sipper. Nothing too soft, or aggressive. Doesn’t need to punch you in the face to score a 10 — 5 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

Sommers Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2009

Definitely doesn’t feel 14 years old. Still very primary with black cherry and baking spice and cedar. Very good, high quality Willamette Pinot. I could (and have) drink a lot of this. — 8 months ago

Antica Terra

Antikythera Pinot Noir 2013

In a line up with GC burgundy, blinded. Had everyone fooled. Volcanic shallow soil and young vines. Meticulous berry sorting.
Shows Oregon can produce wines of world class potential. Still a baby. Cooler vintage less critically acclaimed, but probably more aligned with burgundy lover preferences.

Antics Terra Collective Tasting. A dark, brooding pinot from a hot year in Willamette, full of bramble, dark blackberry, saline, blueberry pie filling. Super dry with big tannins. Unique and one of a kind. — 9 months ago
