Cooper Mountain Vineyards, Cooper Hill, Willamette Valley, 2021 Pinot Noir, $12.74-$14.99, 89 points, poured a deep ruby red with a broad clear meniscus and sticky stained legs.
The aromas were rich black cherry, a hint of cinnamon, and a pleasant floral vibe.
I'm telling you upfront that this a Pinot Noir with a quality FAR above its price point: medium-bodied, showed good acidity, delivered early palate easy tannins, tight but tasty flavors reflective of the aromas with good spiciness.
Finished a tad astringent, developing noticeable tannins, a whisper of red raspberry and a deceptive 13% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my pedestrian hamburger.
