Chapter 24 Vineyards
Two Messengers Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The guy at the wine shop raved about this, but I don't know what he's talking about. It's a one-note blueberry thing.

Just absolutely stunning for a fuller bodied Pinot...the delicate herbal and floral nose we all want in a classic Pinot is there with a fuller and fleshy body. I'm in love!

Hard to beat if you're looking for a correct 2011 Oregon Pinot Noir.

2011 is such an underrated OR vintage and it has aged so well.

Pop and pour. Unarguably the best 21 dollar btl of wine I have ever bought. On the nose: black tea, cranberry, leather and spice. On the palate:.black tea, leather, soft strawberry, solid acidity, good density, slate and grapefruit on the softly tannic finish. This is in a fantastic place right now. Glad I still have a few more btls.
If you drank this a decade ago and were underwhelmed, you were just impatient. Lovely.
