winemaker's notes:

Vibrant and explosive aromas of bananas, cherries, and straw berries dominate with aromas of sweet juice and warm spices. Flavors mirror aromas with banana, strawberries, and cherries dominating with juicy and spicy characters. The mouth feel is soft, round, juicy and well-balanced with fresh acidity which highlights the fruitiness.

  Nice Wine - 1/25/2008
I would buy this wine again
A beautifully colored, dusky Pinot. It has great character, perhaps from the "whole cluster" approach (?)

  Incredible taste, large fruity pinot - 12/18/2007
I would buy this wine again
I can not get enough of this wine. We tasted 12 pinots over a couple week period, all price ranges, and this one was the hands down best. Lots of fruit. Definately worth a try

  Phenomenal - 11/25/2007
I would buy this wine again
This is one of the fruitiest, best tasting Pinot Noirs I've ever had. The whole cluster version differs from the original in the sense that it produces a fruitier wine, that is very smooth and drinkable. If you are looking for Pinot Noir, look no further than Willamette Valley.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
