The weekend has arrived and I have opened the 2018 Stoller Family Estate Pinot Noir. This wine is from the Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
The nose has notes of cherry, strawberry, cranberries, rose petals, mushrooms and earth.
On the palate there is beautiful red fruit, cherry, cranberry, strawberry, spice, cola, vanilla, mushroom, a touch of oak and good earthiness.
This wine is medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel, medium acidity and medium fine sandpaper tannins that seamlessly moves into a long red fruit and light earyh finsh. I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend and please stay safe and continued health. Nostrovia! π·π·π·π·

Silky and open-knit, offering lively raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors that turn sweeter through the midpalate. Lingers with very good tenacity on the subtly tannic finish, which echoes the red fruit and floral notes. This is quite a graceful wine for the vintage. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2020)
