Cru Series The Essentials Williamette Valley Pinot Noir

Loved visiting Vineyard 29. Awesome wines by PMelka.

Definitely not your typical NAmerican Pinot. Looks, smells, and tastes very old school. Rose petal and bing cherries. Haven’t had many Melka pinots, and for my taste, I think his talent is best suited with Bordeaux style wines...

This is no doubt a nice wine. Delicate, nice acidity and a beautifully soft nose. The finish is on the shorter side but it does finish bright with fuller red fruits.

This was excellent and rich with cherry cola, hints of vanilla, and a tiny bit of spice. It was a great finisher that went well with the hearty sausage Minestrone followed by a vanilla Bundt cake.

This wine was really tasty and accessible. Had a smooth texture and a bright cherry and hint of spice.

This was the star of the night. Paired with Persian koobideh kebabs, chicken chenjeh kebabs, and mast o’khiar. This was elegant, flavor filled and interesting.

Oregonian V29, nice nose, the fruit is red berries and expressive, finishes nicely

This was an elegant, interesting Pinot Noir. It was a great way to kickoff the night. It was smooth, with flavors of cherry, vanilla, some spice and a long finish.

Taste of Vail lamb cook off. Pairing with pinots and zins

This was a very tasty and flavor filled Pinot. Rich, elegant and a bit of spice and leather. Very enjoyable.

Outstanding
