Deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry & raspberry with cacao, oak & cinnamon. Full-bodied, generous spice, fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spicy character. Good value! Drink now no aging benefit.

Nicely balanced, easy drinking. Lots of better Oregon Pinot out there, but this delivers on its price point

Not bad solo. Pleasant entry level Willamette juice. Light-med body, restrained cherry, soft tannins, good balance overall.

This is a nice little wine but it kind of falls away over time. Light in color, earthy quite Burgundian in style. Low alcohol. Cranberries. A little green on the back palate they might have picked too early. I like burgundy so I am biased. This wine was very inexpensive for a pinot 17$. For that it is actually quite good.

2013, Montinore Estate, Willamette Valley,Pinot Noir. A good, simple Oregon PN. Tart strawberry and cranberry with a hint of earthiness. Good, basic PN.

May 20th, 2016I was very impressed with this red white - it has subtle smokey notes with the aroma and slight hint of cranberry. I enjoyed it on its own, but it would also pair well with appetizers or a bold meal. For being a stronger red wine, it surprised me with low tannins that allowed its more complex notes to be enjoyable. I'd recommend if you're looking for a new red to enjoy.
