Oregon Pinot Noir
Item Number: S-617
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
The Willamette Valley isn’t the only Oregon AVA that produces superb pinot noir.
This Umpqua Valley pinot is an excellent example. The 2020 Ruestle Prayer Rock Vineyards Winemaker’s Reserve Pinot Noir shows lively raspberry aromas up front, carried by easy oak toast and cola spice notes. Bright and fresh, it’s a perfect pairing with salmon.
