I spotted a Willamette Valley unicorn in its natural habitat! I see why the people gobble up this allocated gem: brimming with Spring scents from a forest floor, this wine conveys "a thing-ness" of swirling weights, aromatics, and tastes that together tell why we chase after the naiad known as Pinot Noir. — 10 years ago

I found this to be the best of the current release. We'll see how the coastlands measures up when it comes out in fall. — 13 years ago

Based on other notes, I fear we didn't give this nearly enough time open up. I got intense but tight flavors of tart cranberry, roses, and lemon and orange juice. In fact it was hard to tell from the nose that this was a red wine! By all objective measures a great wine, decant at least a couple of hours before if you drink this soon. — 11 years ago

I have had the 2010 a number times & it's very good, that being said this '07 is superior. A great wine by all measures, deep, rich, berry, tannins, a hint of cinnamon & just the right balance of dry & fruit. — 12 years ago

Quite aromatic and fleshy. Tropical fruit with a mix of weights. — 11 years ago

Very nice, bit of leather and black cherries there. Modestly complex, a little leather on the finish. And I swear this bottle weights about 5 lbs empty. It's awesome. — 11 years ago

Though "only" a rosso this montalcino red measures up to some of the area's brunellos as well. — 13 years ago
