Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Could time in the cellar tame the acidity in this Oregon Pinot Noir? Dark cherry, vanilla, dried herbs on the nose. Black cherry, pepper, oak, smoke and high acidity. Needs food.
Planked salmon, rosemary encrusted pork, roasted duck.
Tasted: May 2015
Typical Oregonian Pinot Noir with juicy acidity and a medium body with smooth texture. - Community Wine Reviews
