Bought in Toronto with Rachael at LBCO near her apartment. First Oregon Pinot Noir. Very easy drinking and went well with pasta and red pesto that Rachel made. 89 points.

Retail $25. Under screw cap. There are not many under thirty bucks Pinot Noirs out there that I would be happy to place on my table, but this might very well be one. Rich magenta in color with a nose that showcases its abundant cherry fruit (along with some cinnamon and cardamom). The palate is certainly tart enough to be a Pinot, and there is plenty of fruit. But. It is a bit lacking in the complexity that usually serves the best Pinot so well. Sure, it is good, even Very Good, but that is where I will need to be dropped off.

Cherry and strawberry open to more complex notes of earth with a hint of smoke. Nice balance and complexity but not long or concentrated.

The Fourth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $25. Under screw cap. Medium color but dark another lovely nose or brooding cherry and earth. The palate is quite weighty with fruit and a bit unctuous. Not my style, but a nice wine. 91.
