2023 Rose Rock Pinot Noir from Eloa - Amity Hills , Drouhin Oregon. What a winner this one is. I can drink a whole case of this stuff. It’s absolutely delicious.. The bouquet is like walking through a ripe cherry Orchard. The initial palate is filled with cherries and raspberries. Then comes the hint of smoky charred oak. A slight hint of pepper in the background surrounds a deep velvety texture with no tannic overtones. The finish delivers a red licorice and sweet chocolate covered cherry finale. It is dry but not too dry! This is a fantastic every day every night Pinot Noir with an alcohol percentage of only 14.1 % abv. — 20 days ago

Pretty color of ruby with medium intensity and a light brick rim.
Pretty nose of red fruits with wild flowers and light forest floor notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, cooked plums, light oak, mushrooms, spices, chocolates, earth and herbs.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Oregon. Elegant and nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Burgundy in style, and I really enjoyed smelling it for a long while.
This 19 year old Pinot Noir is still drinking beautifully. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime.
Balanced and easy drinking. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
