The 2019 Planet Oregon Pinot Noir Tasting Review
A fragrant mix of raspberries and strawberries with a subtle layer of pine. Aroma has a nice balance, with fruit, pine forest, and spring grasses, with a hint of rhubarb.
This is a classic Oregon Pinot Noir with flavors of fresh Bing cherries, tart cranberries, and Northwest strawberries. Lithe and versatile, this wine shows a firm core of bright acid complemented by subtle spice notes, balanced tannins, and a juicy finish.
