Wine Review: This medium ruby colored Pinot Noir from Oregon opens with a fragrant and inviting blueberry and black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, viscous, and dense for a Pinot Noir. The flavor profile is a stewed black plum and cola blend with notes of smoky oak, earthy loam, and cinnamon. I also detected hints of stony minerality and pomegranate towards the very end. The finish is dry, and its flavors are nicely prolonged. I would pair this Pinot with a juicy and tender pork tenderloin roast. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Savory notes of oak are complemented by initial notes of sweet cherry, raspberry, and roasted plum, which give way to rustic tannins that provide the wine with a supple texture.
