Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Chehalem / Oregon
The see-through strawberry color announces the lightness of the vintage. But it smells attractive and pleasant, with cedar and briar. In the mouth, it runs along a tart, lean line, again a reflection on the year. There’s some Burgundian elegance, but only minimal depth of fruit. Overall a pretty wine best for drinking with food.
