Red
2008 Retour Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
Tasted at Carlton Winemakers Studio: I understand that the labels on these wines run to $15 each, which puts a dent in the profit margin; but who that really cares about wine cares about making money? It is a blend of six wines (according to our guide): bright ruby red, barnyard, earthy, greenish notes, good fruit, some stemminess (I seem at this point to having a discussion with our host about oxidation that didn't quite make sense). A decent wine that would not have been my first choice from our visit.

I'm not sure who shared that with you. The cost of Retour goes into the exceptional fruit sources, winemaking, high grade barrels, etc. In fact, the cork is more costly than the label. Should you visit the Willamette Valley in the future, please be sure to contact me to arrange a private tasting. Thank you! Lindsay Woodard, Proprietor, Retour
