Evenstad Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2013

12/2024. Sits so well on the palate. Full flavor and not over powering with cherry. My favorite Pinot. Paired so well with my NYE dinner at Hall’s Chophouse.

Antica Terra

Botanica Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017

One of America’s best, in winemaker Maggie Harrison. Great to find this on a list with a bit of age. There’s such a beguiling combination of savory earth, mineral and rich cherry fruit flavors, with killer concentration, a plush texture and serious length. Top notch Domestic Pinot for sure. — a month ago

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023

Red dark cherry and red fruit medley, açaí berries on the nose and the palate, mushrooms and earthy on the mid-range of the palate. Dry and smooth to the very end. Medium plus tannins. Some hints of thyme and red peppers. Approachable and easy to drink — 3 days ago

Domaine Drouhin

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2022

I love this Pinot. Pairing with Rouladen for New Year’s dinner is an absolute delight. Perfectly balanced, nice acidity, layers of red fruit. Long nose. And after visiting Drouhin in the Willamette Valley last summer, the connection to the winery adds to the allure. Happy New Year! 🍾 🍷 — 2 days ago

Quilceda Creek

Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Delicious dark fruits and fragrant nose, opening up as time passed after uncorking. The tannins have all but melted away and the wine is fully mature and drinking beautifully. A little surprised that the mid palate was not as heavy as expected but it could be the impact of the 19 years of aging. Brought this one to the restaurant from home. — 21 days ago
