Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. Well-made. Slightly plushy but verry pricey for just Willamette Valley juice. Would spend the extra ca$hi$h for single vineyard offerings from this producer this vintage. 5.1.24. — 2 months ago

I have a soft spot for the 81s from Bordeaux. Haven’t had one in years, but loved how balanced and trim they were back in the day. Totally overlooked because 82 came next.
