Yamhill Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

This is their entry level cuvée and only a little if this wine left in stock

Cranberries, red cherries and red raspberries with some wild mushrooms and a little earthiness.

Perfect with duck or lamb as a choice of meat. Subtle fruit and very geared towards end of meal pairings with dessert if chosen to be opened as a pairing.

The nose is beautiful. With red cherry, brown sugar, allspice, dried cranberry, red plum shows. Acidity is there but balanced with those red fruits from the nose popping out. The finish is red cherry syrup with dried baking spices.

It's been a while since I had an Oregon Pinot Noir, so I decided to open this to reacquaint myself. Not at all shy or subtle, this is one sultry, silky, smoky, and spicy Pinot Noir, intensely flavored with tart fruits like cranberry and plum, and a peppery finish.

16/20 (90/100)

Красивый полный Пино Нуар, молодой, чуть более простой во вкусе.

Lots of bright cranberry and cherry w pine sap and cinnamon, a little stinky earth. Silky smooth and polished, cherry candy, and rhubarb-like tartness.

Mostly King's Grandfather's "mess hall" on the nose.

Was paired best with the risotto but also worked with the pork loin.

Very smooth, but almost too mild.
