Palate-- Light acidity with tart profile, tightly wound fruit waiting to break out. Finishes non-descript with a clunk kind of ending. Disappointing...
Oregon makes some great Pinot noirs! This is not one of them. This Oregon *sourced Pinot leaves a lot to be desired. I paid $12 for this and I won't be repeating the mistake. PASS!
*Sourced means the grapes for making this wine could have come from anywhere in the state of Oregon. Quality can be iffy, although sometimes there are great bargains to be had when the Oregon **AVA's have had bumper harvests. They sell their grapes of good vintners make bargain wines.
**AVA American Viticultural Area-- Officially recognized locales with the state that have lived up to specific criteria of quality etc. Eola-Amity Hills are one such AVA as is Willamette Valley... There are many and they will be on the label of the wine if they qualify...
