We’ve never found such an excellent and affordable wine from the Willamette Valley, a region that usually demands a hefty price tag! Arguably the best growing area for PINOT NOIR outside of Burgundy, the Willamette produces intricate and delicate pinots like this fantastic find! The exuberant cherry aromas are balanced by a touch of rustic Old World earthiness, and subtle hints of fresh mint and white pepper. Pour it beside pork chops with cherry sauce, lamb with cilantro, pesto, chicken with rosemary and mushrooms, and aged goat cheese!
