Evesham Wood Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2019

Much to the delight of Oregon Pinot fans who relish the elegance and delicacy of the Willamette Valley’s cooler vintages, 2019 is shaping up to be a home run. A perennial favorite for authenticity, deliciousness, and value, Evesham Wood’s 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot is absolutely thrilling! Fresh and bristling with energy, the wine opens with cool-vintage aromas of crunchy cranberries, red raspberries, menthol, and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine unfurls pure, vibrant notes of red currants, red raspberries, brown spices, and loamy soil. The finish is taut, coiled, and driven by notes of freshly crushed red berries and subtle, perfectly integrated barrel tones lifted by electric acidity and lip-dusting tannins. Enjoy with classic Northwest fare, especially broiled salmon, rotisserie chicken, potatoes au gratin, and dishes spotlighting wild mushrooms. This is one heck of a prelude to what will surely be a superior Willamette Valley vintage:  buy this beauty by the case before the press joins the parade!
