Winemaker Tasting Notes:
"A generous and remarkable Willamette Valley Pinot Noir for only $25. Red fruited and spiced aromatics with wild green strawberries, fresh mint and loads of savoury chicory spice—wonderfully bright textures on the palate with streaks of minerality accenting cranberries, raspberries and savoury herbs.”- Decanter.
"The 2022 Planet Oregon Pinot Noir is way better than the price point represents. Gorgeous neon ruby core with a lighter pink rim in the glass, the delicious aromas and flavors of sour cherries, red plums, fresh peaches, dried rosemary, dusty earth, and dried rose jump on the palate. The finish is clean and smooth with a yummy cranberry and dried herbal note that pops on the mid-palate."- International Wine Report.
"This fresh, tangy and nicely concentrated wine is alive with black cherries, sour cherries, orange zest, hints of cloves and pine. Aged in neutral barrels, its medium body and moderate tannins give a great, snappy texture. Certified sustainable. Drink now."- James Suckling.
"This is a planet you want to live on. The wine's rich raspberry-jam and lilac aromas make a perfect foil for a meaty note similar to seared steak. Blueberry and candied-rose-petal flavors are joined by an interesting wood note that may conjure up childhood memories of building toy rafts with popsicle sticks."- Wine Enthusiast.
"A young, snappy Pinot, featuring vibrant cherry and pomegranate flavors highlighted by black tea and dusky spices. Finishes with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2032."- Wine Spectator.
