Pinot Noir $17.95
Eugene, OR
3.5 Stars
My mom was nice enough to bring this back from Oregon. Unfortunately its extremely difficult to get this anywhere other than Oregon, as its a really small winery.
The wine has a beautiful light color, and smells reminiscent of a tempranillo. I do not have any good words to describe that, so forgive me for that. The smell is slightly tangy, but more of an herb like tang, maybe lemongrass. You can smell blueberries as the smell tails off.
The wine itself begins with a burst of flavor. Raspberries and other dark fruits with a smokey overtone. The tannins hit halfway down your tongue, but they are not overpowering. The wine then descends into a very long pleasant finish.
Overall a very good wine. Thank you Mom.
