My fave Oregon Pinot producer. A model of subtlety, modesty and restraint. Smooth and round. Moderately sweet with restrained acidity. Will effortlessly cellar for 10 - 15 years.

Deep, vivid garnet. Assertive aromas of fresh dark berries, cherry cola, potpourri and exotic spices, along with vanilla and espresso notes that emerge as the wine opens up. Appealingly sweet, fleshy and seamless in texture, offering concentrated black raspberry, cherry liqueur, vanilla and spicecake flavors and a suave pastille nuance. Velvety tannins build steadily on the finish, which hangs on with superb, floral- and spice-driven persistence. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2022)
