Its the Breaker Vineyard, JS 95
Love the description from the winery so I had to try one ☝️
I think I might get a couple more to age for a few years.
Winemaker's Notes: " The Breaker Vineyard is where we live. Planted in 1972 on its own roots, it occupies a windswept rocky hill on the northern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills. The original cuttings came from Dick Erath and were farmed by Rich Zielinski for four decades. To the north the soils are predominantly Nekia, moderately deep silty clay soils on top of basalt bedrock. The southern portion is predominantly Gelderman soil series which has much thinner topsoils with rocks and cobbles strewn throughout the rows. This endangered beast will be one of only two vintages (2018 & 2019) to come off this old vineyard before we begin replanting. This vintage is very limited and entirely unique. Built to go the distance, we know our children will be enjoying these wines for many years to come. It's just that special. Winemaking Yielding just over one ton per acre, this old vineyard was harvested on the 28th of September. One portion was destemmed into a small, open- top fermenter. The second portion was placed 100% whole bunch in a 500-liter amphora and left untouched for 19 days. The last portion was left 100% whole bunch and foot crushed only. All fermented with native yeast. This wine is a dramatic landscape of rich blue fruits, tense acidity buoyed by sweet tannins, and mouth filling richness. Bottled unfined and unfiltered." — 6 years ago

Oregon finest. — 10 years ago
Dry red wine. Light color and body. Medium alcohol 13.5%. Aromas of ripe red fruit. Cherry, raspberry flavors. Fuller flavors than the light body implies. Some earthy notes. Medium finish.
On sale $19. Original price $59 — 6 months ago
Costco $25… don’t know how they have an Oregon wine of this quality at that price! — 4 years ago
We bought this 2012 in the tasting room in Willamette Valley on our honeymoon in August 2013. Glad we waited a few years on this one! Very bright honey suckle and maybe papaya (tasting notes) on the nose. Vanilla and buttery oak on the tongue, but nicely balanced by lemony acidity. Great wine! — 6 years ago

Apple pear and citrus with a little minerality. From one of my favorite Willamette vineyards, this didn’t disappoint. Love their Pinot noir and now their Pinot Gris. Yum. — 8 months ago

Very nice Willamette Valley pinot that was drinking well with a little age on it — 6 years ago
Classic Pinot NBomb --- wish it was with Nick MBomb......great on the nose-- buttery and oak driven but versatile- like my martial arts skills — 7 years ago
This is a very fine smooth wine. It is full bodied and well balanced. Notes of black berry and lots of pepper which come on after the fruit taste. He came in second in our house wine tasting competition only behind the 2013 Erath Dundee Hill. — 9 years ago

This was my favorite of the roses we had in class. I liked the blanc des noirs of the sparklings the best and now the pinot noir of the roses. I think I might like pinot noir… Still had the cursory rose notes like strawberry and citrus, but I always think that pinot noir offers more complexity and funk. It was refreshing but not to the point of being one note. Solid and reliable. Also will be coming with me to the pool. It is cool that in this class I have gotten to figure out that I like pinot noir in all its forms. — 2 months ago
