Viento 2006 Underwood Mountain Vineyard Pinot Noir (Columbia Gorge (OR))

Country: US / Underwood Mountain Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Viento / Columbia Gorge (OR)

Pinot Noir from Washington? Yes, it’s possible, and in this case, exceptional. Don’t look for California sweetness and extract here, but you’ll find genuine varietal character and perfect ripeness, without the leafy, tomato flavors that can plague parts of Oregon. This is gentle, elegant, light and captivating, like a perfectly made Bourgogne rouge from a great vintage.
