   King salmon paired perfectly with this wine. Decanted for 45 minutes, initially closed but opened up with cherry fruit. Good color and body. Stocking up on more.

   Bethel Heights Vineyard’s 2013 Pinot is a clean and fresh wine with great depth of character, despite the wet weather. Highly recommended.

   Keith Sawyer – July 4, 2016

   Nice wine with black cherry, currant, plum, cranberry notes and hints of rosebush on the nose. Simple with not enough layers, needs more time in bottle.

   Rosemary Sizemore – August 13, 2016

   2013 vintage better than 2012. Good pinot but lacks nuance, a bit simple and in-your-face. Drinkable without decanting.

   Yes, this wine lives up to the hype. Great QPR. Aromas, flavors, color depth, and structure all excellent. Will evolve over 4-5 years. BH nailed it.

    Dexter Clark – June 21, 2017

    Review: Bright ruby color, cherry, blackberry, and floral notes on the nose. Palate of red berries, raspberry, and red licorice with gentle minerality. Medium weight, elegant. Great showing for a supposedly off vintage. Drink now.

    Oregon Wine Geek Week Grand Tasting had a decent nose and perfume, but the palate was a bit tight and angular. Improved when tasted again 2 days later.

    A medium-bodied Pinot with dark cherry, black tea, and earthy notes. Good acidity, well-integrated alcohol, and rustic tannins. Lacks charm for now, but may improve in the future. Drink 2022-2027.

    Sleek and handsomely structured, with expressive raspberry and red plum flavors laced with black tea, forest floor and hints of mineral, building tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2031.
