I’ll be the first to admit that #willamettevalley #pinotnoir on the label automatically suggests “great wine” - so I had some elevated expectations on this one. Unfortunately even after decanting for a while this one exudes a oxidative prunish nose that obscures a creamy medium-bodied Pinot with dark cherry, raspberry notes and precise tannins. So much of the Pinot Noir experience is in the aroma so this wine is flawed.
