Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Andrew Rich / Les Vigneaux Corral Creek Vyd
Each year Rich gets his grapes from different sources: This time it’s Corral Creek, and the wine’s tight as a drum, emphasizing cranberry and pie cherries. It isn’t sour, but it is tart. The gorgeous nose and precise, powerful red-berry fruit make it pleasurable. Puckering acids say it should be served with food.
