Estate Eola - Amity Hills Pinot Noir


About as close to Burgundy as possible in the U.S. Impeccable balance. Must buy more.

Very much like a burgundy red. No fruit but has complexity.

Apr 19th, 2023Rare weekday bottle to wash down a long ass day. First verdict was “MMMM” followed by “Oooooo”. Strawberries, rose hips, violets, stony minerality, fresh acidity. This is what I’m looking for in a Willamette Valley.

At $36 at Costco this is a reasonably priced Pinot. Medium bodied Pinot , easy to drink, good value.
