Approachable with pretty cherry and rose petal flavors, this wine finds its spine via a streak of herb and tannin. Dried leaves, a hint of granite, and persistent berry flavors suggest that it can be cellared for at least 6–8 years. ——P.G.(10/1/2011)—— 87

Moderately herbal and tannic, with tight cranberry and pomegranate fruit tucked inside the leaf and stem flavors. That said, this perfectly captures the terroir of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. If there is a classic Oregon style of Pinot, this would be it. ——P.G.(10/1/2011)—— 86
