Cali's Cuvee Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Solid Oregon Pinot Noir. Strawberries, cherries, some leather and forest floor, wood. Has all the right notes, but could harmonize and gel better. No complaints, but not my preferred example of one of my favorite regions.

Smells: initially Parmesan, cocoa
Later in the evening the juniper smell was more obvious!

Loved it. Juicy cherry and Welch’s grape juice, mild acidity and dry finish.

Really impressive Pinot in this price range. Quite a lot of depth. Fruit and cocoa and herbs. Perfect pairing with Thanksgiving dinner.

Medium ruby, still opaque. Nose has dirt and maybe some leather aroma and spice. Black plum, black cherry, some minerals. Oak present, low acidity (13.5%), and medium tannins. Needs a lot of air- not a good representation as many Oregon Pinots.

Very nice for the price. Lush for Willamette. Delicious dry and very restrained.
