Clean expression of Willamette Valley PN. Light cherry notes, hint of leather. Paired with carpaccio with truffle chimichurri. Great potential

Today's selection for contemplating hurricane Irma's arrival Sunday here in Melbourne, FL. Fine cherry character, almost jammy, tamped down by a slight petrol undertone. Light, yet acidic, mouthfeel, lingers for many minutes. Probably passed by this winery in McMinnville, OR during a visit years ago to see small boutique wineries and the spruce goose. Wished I had seen it, even though this is a multi-vineyard multi-appellation blend. Worth a spin, especially at the price, if you can get a bottle out of the 1100 cases produced.

Really lovely, elegant Pinot. Small hint of an earthy finish to wrap it up nicely. Crowd pleaser, great for groups

Very light pinot - mild acidity which makes it taste crisp

Needed something to order with dinner where people were having halibut, cod and pork chops and this wine was PERFECT. Delicate bodied, tart berries with some earthiness/mushrooms. Super versatile wine.

Patricia Green spin off. Oregon goodness. Great combination of earthiness and deep red fruit. Buying more.

Loved this Pinot. Bouquet of earth and grass with a raspberry and bright fruit palate.
