This pinot noir from Pike Road Wines, the sister winery of Elk Cove Vineyards, defies its $19 price tag by offering a fantastic example of Willamette Valley, Oregon pinot noir: brambly, dusty, earthy, and herbal. I'm absolutely pairing this with salmon. Cheers! (sample)

Cherry, raspberry, currant, oak, mossy earth and hints of dried sage. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

One of the better in the under $20 Oregon Pinot category I've tasted of late, the 2014 Pike Road is an off shoot winery managed by the Elk Cove team. Replete with twiggy black tea notes, rose petals, cranberry compote, iron ore and dried blood, it's clean and linear on the palate, more red fruited than black, with bright acidity that dwindles to a slightly herbaceous, rustic finish of fresh bark dust, spice, and mulch.

Wonderful ness from Willamette Valley; Nose; First fresh Nibs evolves to Sour Cherry. Flavour; Front pure Washington 🍒 melts into a Cranberry tartness with a middle that provides warmth of Eucalyptus and a clean finish of wet earth and herbaceous roots👏🏻 Has a mouth feel medium thickness with mild tannic. Accompanied tonight with Blackened Salmon topped with Winona peach & Jalapeño salsa & side of fresh Halton 🌽...Cheers 🍷
