Join us on Saturday, October 29, 2016, from 4 to 5:30 pm for our wine tasting event exploring the Pinot Noirs of Oregon.
The Pinot Noir wines of Oregon are truly unique. They establish a nice balance between the Pinots of California and those of France. Whereas the California version tends to show elaborate fruit, the French Pinots are much restrained towards earthy, delicate fruitiness. Oregon falls in between. The fruit displayed is enticing in both the bouquet and the various flavors. The acid balances and tannins, where applied, support the perfumed scents and the enveloping Saturday, exotic flavors. The resulting wines are exciting in all styles from light to full, and, as you will see this, the lovely rosés as well.
2015 Yamhill Valley Rosé of Pinots
List price 16.00; Our price 14.99
The blend of 20% Pinot Blanc and 80% Pinot Noir displays the best of both varietals. The full vibrant texture with hints of minerality from the Pinot Blanc, compliment the Pinot Noir's rich floral notes of violet and rose petal. It displays a beautiful coral hue, and shows flavors of passion fruit, pomegranate, and strawberry.
2013 Ponzi Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley
List price 24.00; Our price 19.99
Winemaker Luisa Ponzi has fashioned a wine with aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, rhubarb, cedar and pepper. The structured palate has a sweet middle defined by spiced cherries, black pepper, graphite and dried cranberry. The finish is long with ripe red fruit lingering throughout. 92 points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
2013 La Crema Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley
List price 25.00; Our price 19.99
This wine is lush, velvety and supple, yet delicate. It is nuanced with rose petals, pipe tobacco, cranberry, and pine in the nose. There are hints of red cherry, black tea, mocha, and pomegranate in the mouth as well as earthy notes which one would expect in wines from Oregon. It is balanced and supple, with a spicy finish. It received 90 points from Wine Spectator and 91 points from Wine Enthusiast.
2013 Yamhill Valley Pinot Noir Estate, Willamette Valley
List price 22.00; Our price 19.99
This wine shows expressions of high toned red fruit, a rich, textured mid-palate, black cherry, deep black fruit qualities, and earthy aromatics. The structure and acidity create the balance that makes this wine a culinary delight.
2015 Siduri Pinot Noir, Wilamette Valley
List price 30.00; Our price 27.99
The combination of an outstanding vintage, diverse vineyard sources, and experience in producing Oregon wines under all types of growing conditions, have combined to produce a wine that is immediately delicious, and yet capable of aging for several years. This wine shows great red fruit concentration, with hints of flowers, forest floor, and shale in the mid palate. The finish is compelling with fine-grained tannins and a powerful, lingering finish.
2012 Yamhill Valley Pinot Noir Reserve, Willamette Valley
List price 39.00; Our price 29.99
This was a wonderful vintage in the Willamette Valley. Spring came early and the summer was warm, which allowed for a fully ripened and large crop in early October. The wine shows lush fruit forward qualities while maintaining the firm structure and balance typical of the McMinnville AVA terroir.
