Willamette Valley Vineyards 2002 Pinot Noir

Reviewed by on Sunday, May 21, 2006 on Corkd.com

I have to put down a disclaimer: I am an Oregon native, and I did work briefly for a catering company that did a lot of work at Willamette Valley Vineyard's banquet hall. So I will be easily characterized as a biased reviewer. Putting that aside, this wine is superb for the price you pay. The consistency is always there from the winery, and the wine has an understated elegance to it. It has a medium-length finish, and it doesn't linger on your tongue too long. It's just right, and your senses aren't overpowered by the tannins. Some people might think it's a bit thin, however that's an opinon. For $16-$19, this wine can't be passed up. Give it a try.
