The wine is medium dark in the glass with a gorgeous nose of smoky, red fruit. Bright cherries have the shade of earth thrown over them with an overlay of sage. In the mouth, tannins are firm and acidity is great and the palate is ripe and a bit savory. It's a middleweight, right where Pinot ought to be.

A light body red Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon. Medium acidity with notes of cherry, blueberry and red currant flavors. Some floral notes with a low tannin to acidity balance, classic Pinot Noir that has gone great with pan seared Atlantic salmon (cooked medium rare) paired with sautéed spinach and kale and brown rice. Also went great with a pork ragu with hand made pappardelle. A great everyday wine to have standalone or with food.

Dark fruit, menthol nose. Candied black fruit, forest floor, and a bit of eucalyptus. Red fruit, licorice finish. Definitely decent for the price.

I do enjoy a good Willamette Valley Pinot. Earthy, cherry, delicious.

2016. Not too often you run into a pinot noir under $20 of this quality. Solid from start to finish. Complex aromas, intriguing flavors that run the gamut fr herbal and tart to spicy and sweet. Wonderful mouthfeel. Long, lingering finish. Very good value. 13.2% abv. SRP $19.99

A beautiful expression of Oregon pino noir—stewed cherries with round earthy truffle and balanced acidity.

Nice Pinot, fuller body than your average Pinot Noir. Taste slightly young and bright. I would buy again but doesn’t excited me as other reds for the same price.

Nice acidity, red raspberry, black raspberry, forest floor. Perfect for broiled salmon.
