Some orange/brickish color on the edge, shows dark fruit aromas and flavors, plenty of balancing acidity, just the slightest bit of astringent tannin in the finish, mature but at peak, lovely aged Oregon Pinot Noir, kudos to Mark Vlossak!! — 3 days ago

Pop and pour. A striking medium gold color. On the nose: wonderful aeromatics of apple, honeycomb, floral, lemon, almonds. Taste: lean, waxy, balanced mouthcoating wine with tart apple, saline, lemon rind, crushed stone, and a minerally orange peel lingering finish. YUM! Should have more time to go. — 2 months ago

Grippy tight and tannic at opening but softened into juicy plum and cranberry with graphite and soft tannins. Lovely. Drink now if you have any of the 96 left. — 2 months ago

An excellent wine from a not great year. Gorgeous on the nose. Plum, cassis, lavender, and milk chocolate. Just a bit weak on the finish. — 2 months ago

2021 vintage. Bit o’ milk/dark chocolate in the flavors with the usual dark plum. Actually pretty approachable and satisfying for the $. 05.14.25. — a month ago

Auction wine. Broken cork. Again. Wine was at base of the neck. I think cakebread got a batch of bad corks. No wine into the cork and they all broke right at the end. Not sure how it affected the wine but it’s been a consistent issue

Wine exhibited some decent fruit but no real depth or grip. Very smooth and medium body but missing some power and complexity expected from this site.
