Review:

This is a very refreshing and food friendly Pinot Noir. Pretty light cherry red in color. On the nose there is floral notes and sweet red cherries that are followed by a small hint of damp earth. Light bodied and slight effervescent mouth-feel on the palate with flavors of tart cherries and other red fruits. Finishes with tangy dark fruits. This wine has a good amount of tart and tangy acidity with a little bit of tannin, but it stays balanced.

This was a good and enjoyable entry level Pinot Noir that is very well priced. Definitely worth picking up if you would like to try an Oregon Pinot Noir and not break the bank.
