Willamette Valley Vineyards Oregon 2020 Pinot Noir, $17.99-$22.99, 90 points, poured a light and bright ruby red with purple flashes, a broad clear meniscus, and fleeting stained legs.
Aromas of profuse blueberry with hints of red cherry, allspice, and cinnamon were quite good.
More than a medium-bodied not quite dry red wine that was softly textured with easy tannins and excellent flavors reflective of the aromas tinged with wood throughout.
Finished long on the trailing palate and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired nicely with my honey-fried chicken wings.
Proof once again that a great bottle of Pinot Noir can be had for less than $40.
