Surprisingly robust and fresh for a 2017. Aromas of baking spices, strawberries, hint of vanilla and subtle notes of oak. Flavours of strawberry, vanilla and spiced fruit cake with soft tannins and a vibrant acidity. Paired with roasted chicken thighs in a balsamic cherry sauce. — 9 months ago
Fruit forward, very smooth, low tannins with moderate acidity. Red fruit in the palate with maraschino cherries and red currants. Went well with an early spring al fresco dinner on a river bluff. — 4 years ago

A hearty and rich Forts, could bluff its way to a 1st growth blind. Consensus was this needed more time but decanting a few hours brought out sweet layers of cedar and dark red berry. Monster nose. — 4 years ago

Reddish/ purplish in color with light intensity.
Soft on the nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, light oak, spices, herbs and black tea.

This is a very tasty Pinot Noir from Oregon. Elegant and nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is complex, spicy and entertaining.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. A little longer for this Magnum.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.
