Reviews

Subtle Quality

"This Pinot drinks beautifully. I would compare it to bottles from the Oregon Coast costing much more. A great value."

Lovely with lamb

"Complemented roasted lamb without overpowering it"

— Joseph M. (4/5)

Needs more time?!?!

"A little "soapy" smell in the glass (yes, i tried another glass, smelled it first, and the same) Tasted great after an hour or so of air - probably needs some more time in the bottle would be my guess. Will let it sit and see what happens"

— Steve S. (3/5)

Excellent Pinot Noir

"Really liked this wine, maybe opened it a little early but had a nice, grippy mouth feel and interesting flavor profile separate from the red fruits. I would definitely purchase again but I think prefer some of the Cabernets coming out lately."

— Tim C. (4/5)
