Nose of strawberry, spice, and warm granite. Good integrated acidity and tannin. Opened up over several hours and improved with air. Lots of warm berry and baking spice with a medium-long finish. Was initially unimpressed, but this turned into a wine that seems better than the sum of its parts.

Originally sampled at the tasting room about 18 mos. ago, and was impressed enough to purchase a bottle. Finally opened tonight, paired with mushroom ragu tossed with large radiatore pasta. Ripe berry fruit, and earth charachter highlight this lovely Pinot. I would be much happier had I grabbed a couple more bottles of this wine while I had the opportunity. Even better on second night. A very seductive wine.

Drinking very well. More fruit forward than the Jory Bench Reserve. Wish I had more!

Nice wine. Strawberries and a little earth. Light at the rim. Enjoyable now for sure. Very, very good value @ mid twenty dollars.

Best $25 bottle of OR pinot I know. Blueberries and spice and a nice long finish. Very strong.
