Delicious. Complex nose has plenty of ooozing, sappy dark cherry fruit, a decent amount of toasty, clove-like French oak, spice, warm moist loam. The palate is more minerally, with lots of crushed rock and salinity. Bone dry, but with mouth-clinging dark cherry extract. As slight bitter note at the tail end of the finish, which is long. The acids are there but soft, and there’s some very soft tannin, so this will certainly age at least a few years.

UPDATE: On night 2, the oak is much better integrated and the wine is more settled and complex. Upping from 9.2 to 9.3. — 9 days ago

Seems to be fully mature showing notes of red fruit, earth, spice. Not as complex as I wanted. Purchased from the Domaine after visiting in 07 — a month ago

The Oregon Pinot Noir I’ve been looking for…mostly. Label claims cherry, black currant, and forest floor. I’m happy to say it’s well-balanced in those areas. It has the earthiness that Firesteed was missing, yet I could use a little more and it still has a lighter body that keeps it from perfection. Not sure one can expect more body from Pinot Noir these days, at least coming from certain regions. Great balance and fruit aroma to the nose as well, no harsh acidity or spice. — a month ago

Tasting wines for my W set and I randomly cracked this open because I had two bottles and I have no clue as to where I got them. I didn’t know the price point and right away I thought incredible! Almost like you’re tasting something out of a 2019 burgundy. I’m surprised it being so young. It still has some earthy layers to it. I’ll be back my friend. — 5 days ago

This was nice initially and really open after 4+ hours. A bit too much oak for my personal taste but the core of this wine is so savory. Mushrooms. Incredible length on the finish. — a month ago
