Deep scarlet. Expansive aromas of red/dark berry liqueur and cherry-cola are complemented by a spicy topnote that builds as the wine opens up. Juicy, concentrated and seamless in the mouth, the North Valley offers appealingly sweet, spice-laced black raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors that turn livelier with air. Nicely plays richness off vivacity and finishes very long and supple, with gentle tannins lending shape and grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2020)

Deep ruby color. Aromas of cherry cola, raspberry, red licorice and floral notes. Solid Oregon Pinot- cherry, strawberry and baking spices on the palate.

More fruit forward than other Oregon pinots but not overly so. Cherry, cola, and a touch of earthy notes. Good effort at $19.
