91 Points James Suckling
Bright nose of cranberries, fresh raspberries, thyme, lemons and crushed stones. It’s medium-bodied with crunchy acidity and sleek, fine tannins. Lovely minerality.
 
91 points Wine Enthusiast
This is a beautifully balanced wine with bright acidity and silky tannins. Fresh and tangy aromas of cranberries, rose petals and citrus lead the way, followed by caramel, red cherry and bittersweet dark chocolate flavors. The wine’s smooth texture is as comforting as a favorite pair of corduroys.
 
Winemaker Notes
This wine exemplifies the classic "Willamette Valley style" with aromas of red fruits including raspberry, strawberry and cranberry accented by notes of florals and earth to create an enticing bouquet. Medium-bodied, round and juicy, the palate offers flavors that mirror aromas with the addition of ample baking spices from cinnamon to clove and concludes with bright acidity and integrated tannins.
 
This wine will pair beautifully with traditional Pinot Noir dishes including Oregon lamb, duck breast with fruit compote, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, cedar plank grilled salmon, recipes with mushrooms or earthy truffles and aged cheeses.
