$35, $7, 5 stars, 92 points, oregon, pinot noir, VWTC, willamette valley
The star of the #7 virtual wine tasting event was this Pinot Noir for most of the attendees. Dark cherry, cedar, cola, forest floor, chocolate, pepper, Rooibos tea, nutmeg cloves and Intensity were all mentioned.
I found this wine to be more of my style in Pinot offerings. A blend of Old and New world, fruity yet earthy. Not over the top, but still powerful and elegant. I love drinking Pinots in the summer, it’s a great time for a more restrained wine before we get into the cold weather and big heavy Cabs. This wine would pair beautifully with pork, a roast chicken, filet or even a mushroom tart. Loved it. 92 points from me and at $35, 5 stars and a buy-by-case recommendation. Drink till 2027. Salut….
