This is the 2012 J. Christopher Willamette Valley Unfiltered Pinot Noir from Newberg, Oregon.

On the nose is bright cherry, strawberry, cranberry, clove, vanilla, sweet oak, barnyard funk, cinnamon and soil.

Onnthe palate I found cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cola, mushroom, hibiscus, black tea, spice and earth.

This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and fine supple tannins that leaves you with a long red fruit dusty soil finish. This weekend looks to be a good one. Go out and enjoy yourselves and try some nice wines. Stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

New world wine with an old world approach; nice ripe fruit first and foremost but well balanced with the earth and acidity. Fairly powerful for the money

Funky underbrush with mushrooms, leaves, and umami. Structured for the area. Baked cherry. Delicious and well-made.
