Delicious, bright Pinot, pairing very well with all kinds of Tapas.

This is a Pinot unicorn. Shiny $15 price with unreal brightness and vibrancy of cherries that take you on a magical earthy ride through the Willamette terroir. This is your value Pinot of the day! Take it while you can.

Found this wine at Grocery Outlet for $6.99 and I was shocked to see an Oregon Pinot Noir for under $15.00! After tasting it I'm pretty sure I figured out why.. This wine had some serious reduction or tainting and I'm sure it was sold off very cheap to Grocery Outlet to get something out of it or break even on production costs. Behind the strong off notes I could sense some lovely character but it was hard to pick that up due to the off notes. I'd love to try some quality wines from this producer.

Very disappointed. This is the first time I’ve had this and always have good luck with Willamette Valley Pinots. I spent over $20 on this and it reminds me of Sutter Home my mom used to drink back in the 90s. The wine lacks body and taste. It has a crisp watery taste with a hint of tannin at the very end.

Great surprise wine! Happened to get a bottle and it was a great wine. Nice and mellow wine with a great finish.
