Introduction

Thank you to Teresa for hosting this event. 4 great Pinots in a row with a nice Domestic Sparkler and killer Rose as the introduction to the event. Wonderful food and great laughs with new and older members of the club.

Flight 1 (6 notes)

White - Sparkling
2017 Argyle Brut Knudsen Vineyard USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills

Excellent domestic sparkler. Lemon, pie crust, orange peel, toast and mild spice. Medium plus finish and crisp acidity. Should drink well for another 5 to 8 years.
Rosé
2020 Lange Rosé of Pinot Noir USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
91 points
Very full bodied effort with Bing Cherries, smoke, orange zest, and floral notes. A little spritzy quality on the finish. Solid stuff and this will age.

Excellent showing on this wine tonight. Strawberry, rosemary, spice, rose petals and earth. Concentrated and complex, medium plus finish. Drink now to 2028.

Very good showing with cherry blossoms, earth, cranberry, spice and forest floor. The most complex of the wines sampled tonight and a slight winner overall.

Dark fruit and the biggest style of the 4 Pinots tasting tonight. Wood, earth and floral notes. Medium and concentrated finish. For sure needs time. Drink 2025 to 2032.
