Love this wine. Great color, bouquet, light but not thin. Great ruby fruit flavors. Good opening red to start the night. Did well with charcuterie and transferred to a light red sauce spaghetti dinner well.

Blackberry, white pepper, earth, hint of tomato. Complex nose and full round black fruit on the palate.

A deluge of rain just prior to harvest made for a challenging vintage in 2013, a "winemaker's vintage" in the Willamette Valley, but there are bright spots, wines with nuance and freshness. Willamette Valley Vineyards is one such wine, worthy of consideration, with classic raspberry and Rainier cherry notes, trail dust, and mahogany wood. On the palate, tart cranberries and pomander ball lead into a finish of moderate length, inlaid with minerality and tinged with spice. 13.4% ABV | Sample

Not a Pinot Noir I would buy again. Bright vibrant color. Low concentration. Cranberry on the nose and palate. A bit of an earthy and punchy finish. Not what I personally look for in a Pinot.

Very similar to Vancouver Island Pinot noir. Lots of minerals and black cherry, with some pepper and a dry finish.

Paired amazingly with Spicy Indian food. Tandoori Cauliflower. Nose: cherry, blackberry. Something savory like butter/greasy chips, cake batter, pepper.
Color: slightly dense for Pinot noir, med/ light body, brown rim.
Palate: dark berries, good acid, nice alcohol ending, leather,subtle spice but still has fruit.
$34 in UT
