Note di degustazione
Deep bright red. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, cola, Asian spices and rhubarb, plus a suave floral topnote. Juicy and focused on entry, then broader in the midpalate, offering appealingly sweet, supple red and dark berry and spicecake flavors and suggestions of candied flowers and mocha. Finishes sappy and very long, displaying repeating spiciness and smooth, slow-building tannins. This is quite an impressive wine for a "basic" bottling, much less a freshman effort.

The 2014 Pinot Noir is sourced 35% from the estate vineyard (Bishop's Creek) and supplemented from a variety of Oregon AVAs in the Willamette Valley. It is matured for 15 months in one-third new oak. It has a ripe red cherry, kirsch and redcurrant jus scented bouquet that perhaps needs just a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, bright red fruit that are pure and quite caressing in texture, with quite a succulent, plush finish where I would like to see just a little more complexity come through. That said, this is a worthy debut that should give 6-8 years of drinking pleasure.
