2021 Portlandia Vintners Pinot Noir
12/26/2023 - Sjjordan Likes this wine: 89 Points
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.

2021 Lemelson Vineyards Pinot Noir
12/22/2023 - Sjjordan Likes this wine: 92 Points
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.

2022 Caiu a Noite Vinho Verde
9/22/2023 - Sjjordan Likes this wine: 91 Points
A really lovely example of this wine that provides good value. Strong notes of citrus (lemon and lime), green apple, and pear. Very bright acidity balanced with a noticeable salinity. The light effervescence is textbook. Higher alcohol (13%) but you don't taste any heat. Paired beautifully with pan-seared barramundi and a gremolata.
