Classic Pinot presentation with a light ruby hue that nearly sparkles with brilliance.
Bouquet is brimming with sweet spiced syrup over fresh strawberries.
Palate--has a tart edge to it that is a bit surprising with subdued strawberry flavor and a smokey finish. Tartness tones down with some air and berry flavors step up.
Paired with foil wrapped country short ribs slow cooked on the grill then opened to caramelize the Dijon/honey sauce.
I paid $17 for this and is representative of Oregon Pinot. This is what I would expect of Pinot at this price point but honestly I am finding Oregon Pinots predictable and not very exciting. Raise a glass if you don't like surprises.
