Not that familiar with Zin but had a good mouthfeel, not much tannin, strawberry up front and was good with steak. — 7 years ago
Pretty solid Willamette Pinot. Really loved visiting and chatting with Marcus yesterday. Ripe but with nice structure and acid still, bit young and would be best a bit further down the road. Ripe cranberry, bing cherry, and raspberry, potpourri and drying rose floral notes, gravelly mineral earth, and a bit of clove and anise-y spice character. Medium (+) acid, medium (-) intensity of fine grained tannins, and medium (-) body but with great, soft texture. Versatile on the patio with an array of grilled sausage and brats. — 8 years ago

Excellent bottle of Oregon Pinot for less than $30. — 9 years ago
Wow, a marvelous and unexpected quartet of "white" wines (including white no skin Pinot Noir!) that makes for a spectacular blend, more like avant garde string quartet than a rock band, with dazzling aromatics and a plush structure from Pinot Blanc. My first time tasting Marcus Goodfellow's wines at Matello. The fact he also finds Viognier & Syrah in North Willamette and crafts remarkably true to terroir wines makes this a winery to follow! — 10 years ago

Nice finish, one of the coolest wines I've tasted — 12 years ago
Sauvignon Blanc fruit w a natural wine funk and fuller mouthfeel. Pear skin, oxidized apple, raw honey, musty cheese, creme brûlée (w/o malolactic fermentation, no less). The full body and acidity is an incredible balance. It tastes like a spring wind full of polen mixed with a funky cheese in a dark bar. — 8 years ago
Bright, sour, totally lip-smacking — 8 years ago
It has been a while since I found an inexpensive wine that thrills me the way this one does. The flavor hits all the right notes in the mouth. It has a very pleasant feel on the tongue. And even though it is a dry red, it isn't so dry it makes me pucker. It really makes me say "aah". And then take another sip. This is the highest rating I have given any wine I've tried. — 9 years ago
