Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
We were quite smitten with this. Pale pink and orange hues but big aromas and flavors. Has a cherry liqueur scent that stands out, but also some cola and cocoa. You definitely get the Pinot here with some forest floor, cherry, and herbs. Simultaneously refreshing and savory. Good ending with a nice lingering finish.
Most of the grapes come from old plantings of Pinot gris in the Eola Hills Zenith vineyard. After whole cluster pressing, the juice ferments in old French oak with limited sulfur and no filtering.

Cocoa covered cherry cordial with eucalyptus on the nose. Young dark cherry-driven, forest floor, light herbal palate. Delicious, exceptional value.

Very pretty floral nose, med - body, fairly short finish. This is very primary and hopefully will flesh out with a bit more bottle age.

2015 vintage. Tints a nice bright red, smells of boysenberry and cloves with hints of earthy tobacco, average acidity, dry with predominantly black fruit character, oak is present but well balanced. This is a good expression of Oregon Pinot Noir for the price. Perhaps lacking some complexity.

This wine is ridiculous - especially at this price!

Charming with spice and just-ripe-blackberries and a just a hint of green canes, it turns a little bitter and tannic on the finish before concluding with an appealing tartness.
