Translucent ruby-red. Powerful red fruit liqueur, potpourri, incense and smoky mineral scents, along with hints of cola and exotic spices. Alluring sweet and animated on the palate, offering densely packed raspberry, boysenberry, spicecake, floral pastille flavors and a strong undercurrent of zesty minerality. Fine-grained tannins frame and shape a powerful, mineral-driven finish that lingers with superb persistence and mounting sweetness. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2019)

Earth, barnyard, crunchy berries, depth and breadth envelops the palate. Layers upon layers. Plenty left to give. Fantastic offering from the Etzel’s.

Wet earthy nose. Full body, dry, smooth. Cherry cola, vanilla up front, strawberries on the back. Outstanding! Great wine from a great winery...as good as Oregon Pinot Noir gets IMO.
