Why is it that it seems that the price of Oregon Pinot Noir has taken off? Eveytime I go into the liquor store and try to purchase a decent Oregon Pinot, it seems they try to rival California Cabernet's in price. Some of the Pinot's are now above $20-$25.
In the heart of the Willamette Valley, in the Eola Hills district of the Valley is the vineyard. A large vineyard making some nice everyday drinking Pinot Noir. I tasted this Pinot Noir as part of my wine tasting flight at the vineyard and even bought a bottle home. It's a good eveyday drinking Pinot Noir not full bodied even a little thin on the palate-that is to me. There were hints of tobacco and cherry upon opening, with a short fininsh. Classic Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley with some nice fruit. Goes well with BBQ. Goes well with your wallet. Under $20.
