Medium light ruby to garnet in colour with a medium intense nose.
Smooth and easy to drink, but not your typical Willamette Valley Pinot
Positives: This wine features pine, cherry, strawberry/raspberry mix, light smoky notes and mild forest floor. Medium light body with light tannins, good acidity & a fairly long length.
Negatives: None
Interesting Point: There are a lot better Pinots at better prices
Drink now or in the next 3 years on its own or pair it with BBQ salmon.
