This is an enjoyable, sub-$20 Pinot Noir. Pale ruby color. Aromas of red cherry, dried cranberry, prune, baking spices. Tastes the same, with a hint of blueberry on the finish. Medium-light body, medium-plus acidity, not a very long finish, and alcohol isn’t out of balance.

This is a delicious, cool-climate Pinot Noir. It is fresh, fruit forward, tight/austere. I think it is a great example of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. It is pale garnet/ruby in color. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, clove, and vanilla. Tastes of tart cranberry and tart cherry, strawberry, olive, soil/earth. Medium-minus body, medium-minus tannins, medium acidity, and very dry. I’ll be seeking this out again. It paired beautifully with ratatouille and some aged Parmesan.

Very nicely structured Prosecco. Okay acidity. Strong minerality. Tastes of apples, lemon, brioche, and a touch of honey. Very tasty.
