Decent effort. (9096 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 3/25/2014 & rated 88 points: Ripe strawberries, underbrush, mint and soy. Short to medium finish. Not bad for the price. (6777 views) | | | Tasted by konadog on 11/25/2013 & rated 86 points: light cherry and cranberry notes, simple (8839 views) | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 11/22/2013 & rated 87 points: This light-to-medium ruby wine offers inviting raspberry, cherry, rose petal and cola aromas. Fresh and light-bodied on the palate, it serves up similar flavors in a lightly tannic frame. The alcohol (listed as 13%) is seamless and the flavors persist throughout the middle. Concluding crisp and with medium length, it is a very respectable Pinot for the price. Drink now-2016. (8196 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 11/14/2013: Thin and boring. Lacking anything good. (8141 views) | | | Tasted by jbehrendt on 9/6/2013 & rated 85 points: Rather disappointed this Pinot. Much better Pinot available from other producers in this price range. (3850 views) | | | Tasted by Happy Sommelier on 8/5/2013 & rated 82 points: An excellent "Daily Wine" to be enjoyed with family. (3649 views) | | | Tasted by blind troglodyte on 7/20/2013: A lot of people seem disappointed with this wine. Why? It's fine, it's what it's supposed to be. If you want a fruit bomb drink a different wine. (2704 views) | | | Tasted by jfurey21 on 7/2/2013 & rated 86 points: Not much here. OK everyday wine. (2818 views) | | | Tasted by FredF on 6/20/2013 & rated 86 points: fruit, but this is getting a bit old. Soft tannins and low acid mean this is to be drunk now. (2774 views) | | | Tasted by RMapou on 5/9/2013 & rated 82 points: Pleasant, but not especially complex or memorable. (2988 views) | | | Tasted by wrmccall on 4/19/2013 & rated 83 points: Seemed watered down, light fruit and short finish. Disappointing (2842 views) | | | Tasted by austinbeeman- austinbeeman.com on 4/2/2013 & rated 89 points: BEST BUY!
Bright red fruit. Dust. Medium Weight. Good bargain Oregon Pinot

Better as it warms up, with a hint of varietal character saving it from disaster, but mostly just not good. (2517 views) | | | Tasted by Melnal on 3/8/2013 & rated 77 points: Fast legs. Personally it tastes like it was watered down. A bitter after taste. The nose is a bit musky but not like most good Pinots. Might give it another try but not in the immediate future. (2961 views) | | | Tasted by FredF on 2/24/2013 & rated 89 points: Red fruit, soft tannins. Wonderful with Onion Soup (2718 views) | | | Tasted by Brunhylde on 2/18/2013: - Crimsom color with medium forming legs and aromas of cherry and has flavours of cherry, mushroom and oak with a short finish. (2664 views) | | | Tasted by ColoradoAg on 2/17/2013 & rated 86 points: Nice basic Pinot Noir, plenty of fruit, not very earthy. Great for sitting on the couch reading. (2396 views) | | | Tasted by ddingley on 2/9/2013 & rated 82 points: My wife bought several at Costco for her friends coming over, wish I could have re-directed her to the Belle Glos Meiomi at the same price. This is thin, light mediocrity, not terrible but I'd rather drink something else. (2782 views) | | | Tasted by Bro on 2/3/2013 & rated 87 points: Un vin très équilibré qui s'apparente davantage aux Bourgogne qu'au pinot américain ... (2454 views) | | | Tasted by elconde on 2/1/2013 & rated 92 points: Excellent smoky flavor, medium-bodied, medium tannins. It was ready to drink from the get go.

(3000 views) | | | Tasted by Bro on 1/1/2013 & rated 85 points: Avons dégusté ce vin après le champagne, qui accompagnait mon tartare de poissons, et avant d'attaquer la fondue de viandes avec le gran coronas 2003 ... Bref, je n'ai pas trouvé que la séquence était gagnante ... Le vin est correct, ce pinot noir est plus fidèle au bourgone que le Meiomi, entre autre, mais il s'avère que je préfère ce dernier ... Je m'efforcerai à déguster l'autre bouteille dans une circonstance plus favorable ... (2967 views) | | | Tasted by ChuckLemieux on 12/31/2012 & rated 84 points: Extremely fruity and light.

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Oregon* |
