Grateful Red Pinot Noir ‘07

RATING:

NYR

DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS:

“Yes, it's got a catchy name, and it's just about the only hold over from the old regime at this friendly Salem winery. The reason for that is, it's very good.  And it goes down nice and easy. It begins with brambly berry aromas, with a note of bacon fat (that quickly dissipates). Dark plum flavors are complemented by notes of raspberry and strawberry. Easy on the tannins, though fairly rich on the palate. Excellent entry level pinot, but by no means insubstantial.”  ---Oregon Statesman Journal on Wines.
