Saffron Fields 2021 Spectrum Pinot Noi
2021 Violet Vines Pinot Noir Estate Grown Origin Block, USA, Oregon, Willamette, McMinnville, Wine Review
NV Bryn Mawr Vineyards Brut Rosé, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Wine Review
Salmon pink in color with a touch of orange. A nice mousse with small bubbles. Clear and bright. The nose is expressive with strawberries, and a touch of cranberries. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is nicely balanced with crisp acidity. Flavors of cherries and slight cranberries. Long finish. This is delightful on its own and very food friendly. It will work well with salty and fried appetizers. Drink over the next few years.

Left Coast Cellers 2022 Pinot Noir, Cali’s Cuvée
2000 Wild Horse Pinot Noir, USA, California, Central Coast, Wine Review
From a recent cellar purchase a friend made, this was very drinkable and much better than I would have thought. Cherry red in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose has cherries, slight sandalwood and slight baking spice. Medium bodied. Good balance. On the palate, there is still nice cherry fruit. Not super complex but some depth. It drinks nicely on its own but would be better with food. It would be nice with baked salmon with a cream sauce. Drink up.
