Natalie's Score: 87/100

Stemmy and acidic, with tart cherry notes on this Oregon Pinot Noir, with a wonderfully lifted, bright mid-palate. Earth and cranberry aromas with a spice edge. Lovely balance that makes this red wine both edgy and racy and very food friendly. This is also a very reasonable price for Oregon Pinot Noir. Pair with planked salmon.

Pinot Noir food pairings: veal chops, spiced duck breasts, pizza with anchovies.

Reviews and Ratings

Lots of tart cherry flavour in the glass with good acidity. Willamette Valley is the heart of Oregonian Pinot Noir. Pair with smoked salmon. - Community Wine Reviews
