  2011 was such a cool year so you needed to be patient. Glad we held it as this one is now quite lovely. Popped and poured and it was ready to go in just a few minutes. Delicate and velvety. Darker notes coming through, pomegranate on the finish

  Very pretty. Red fruit, balanced with a nice finish. Perfect drinking now.

  Similar aromatics from prior notes: black cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, sandalwood. Full bodied on the palate, but not nearly as vibrant as the aromatics - dull and insipid. Probably long in the tooth at this point

  This wine stood the test of time. Many wines from 2011 in the Willamette Valley were rather thin and tart. They say wines from a cool vintage are meant for the cellar, but I found that all too many from 2011 were still too hollow, even with some cellar time.
  
  Not so with this one. This wine brought a complex array of red fruits, earth notes, forest floor, and had a nice filled out mid palate that made it both intriguing and pleasure-inducing at the same time.
