This is a 100% Pinot Noir from Oregon. Lightly colored ruby, clear and bright. The nose has a friendly cherry candy quality. Light to medium bodied. On the palate, cherries, and tart red berries with a slightly bitter note on the finish. Light tannins. This is an easy drinking Pinot Noir that would be a nice choice for parties. Drink on its own or with lighter foods over the next few years.
This is actually one of the better values in Oregon Pinot Noir from year to year. It is a blend of what is left over after the single vineyard bottlings. It is a great way to check in on a vintage and the fact that it is available in a 375ml format makes it great from a lot of purposes. Ruby/purple in color. The nose has sour cherries with some black cherries. Light tannins on the palate. Juicy, black cherry fruit. Finishes a bit sour. These are on the larger size for Oregon Pinot but age quite well and after a decade drink much more mature.
