Quite Burgundian in nature, this offering is not opulent, but is very well defined, with an almost etched nature. Lean, with tart cherry, licorice and mineral aromas and flavors, and fairly light in body, it is big on character and traditonal Pinot style. The wine is quite taut now, but the finish is very long and complex. Should be beautiful with three to five years’ aging.

The 2004 vintage produced a forward, fruity Cuvée J, sporting pretty scents of cherry cola. Light in color, it’s fresh, fruit-driven and carries a streak of vanilla from still-unresolved oak. If there is a quibble, it’s that the finish has some heat in it, and the fruit, though sweet and pretty, brings along no extra measure of extract or texture, things you look for in a top-end Pinot.

A good value in Oregon Pinot, this wine features fully ripe cherry aromas with some chocolaty overtones allied to a smoked-meat note. The fruit really sings on the palate, where some cranberry and cocoa flavors chime in. Best Buy.

Very pungent aromas, with piercing red fruit and light touches of citrus on the nose. At first it’s shockingly tart and tight, so much so that it might throw you for a loop. After lots of time it breathes itself to life, where raspberry essence rises up. Time may allow it to shine, but now it’s hard and astringent.
