Yamhill Carlton, Willamette Valley

Big Table Farm

Pelos-Sandberg Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Light red in color with light intensity.

Fruity nose of bing cherries, red candy, light wood and chocolates.

Medium-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, sweet strawberries, light oak, spices, earth, herbs and light green vegetables.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.

This 3-year-old Pinot Noir from Oregon is starting to drink nicely now, but still very young. Needs 3 to 5 years in the bottle to mature properly.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes.

This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is showing nice complexity with a soft mouth feel. Elegant, easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

12.9% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$72.

Angela Estate

Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2019

Surprise me of having a more herbal and vegetable foundation than the light flowery fruity that you kind of expect from this area, but it worked very well. That herbal note faded after the first blush, and it developed some delicate strawberry and hibiscus and floral notes. Good structure, never felt flabby, but after a day or two of being open, develop some cherry flavors, which just weren’t my favorite, but weren’t bad. Delicious wine.  — 7 months ago
