Takes a little time to open up but then is really nice medium expressive pn if you like Oregon style (which I do) you'll like this. modest price (34$) makes it a great choice

A cool climate Pinot from North Coast Sonoma. Nice strawberry undertones. Smooth.

Definitely not as expressive of place as other wines from the appellation. Very fruit-forward and only only moderate acid. It's cheap though so there's that.

"I've had better" -My Wife, yep that's right Fort Ross I'm better than you (at least that's how I interpreted her review.) Light, balanced Pinot Noir. Let it breathe before you drink or else you get acidic Pinot.
