Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Clear garnet in color. Shy nose of black cherry and black tea. Matching dark fruit palate is medium-bodied with medium tannins: high for a bottle at this price point. A really nice Willamette with a semi-Burgundian ethos at a bargain price. If you haven’t taken the plunge into America’s “go to” region for the Black Pinot, this is a worthy entry point. Enjoy with a wide variety of foods, including (as I am) the classic salmon.

Pretty nice Oregon Pinot Noir. Slightly lacking in the olfactory department, with a nose of mulled berries and cloves, and raspberry with spice and earth undertones. Definitely benefits from a very slight chill.

Very Burgundian in style for a $17 bottle. Bright cherry, wild flowers, clove, and a touch of tobacco on the nose and velvety smooth soft fruit and baking spices on the palate along with some earthy mushroom-ness. Great acidity, awesome daily drinker.

Lacks the juiciness and dynamic flavors I expect from a Pinot.

Delightful flavors of spice and oak. Would buy again.

Moderate Pinot just okay

Paired with spaghetti pesto.
Shining bright ruby color.

Tastes like berry yogurt.

Good, smooth, peppery. Would drink again maybe not priority for purchase

Light fruit, dry on the back end. Excellent for price point.

Very good
