A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir 2019 375ml HALF BOTTLE

Expert Review – Vintage 2019

Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points
This widely available Oregon Pinot avoids the sort of winemaking tricks that take away detail and specificity. It is broadly flavorful with brambly blackberry and black cherry fruit, along with a streak of licorice.

Winemaker's Notes

A beautiful deep garnet in the glass, the 2019 A to Z Wineworks Oregon Pinot Noir presents dark cherry and red berry aromatics with hints of pomegranate, rhubarb, baking spices, cola, and cedar — lifted by warm secondary notes of vanilla, leather, sandalwood, toast, and a subtle earthy layer of forest floor and mushrooms.

Succulent on the palate: juicy ripe red fruit and black plum, brambly blue fruits, fig compote, cocoa, and a dash of pipe tobacco and graphite. Smooth texture, mouthwatering acidity, and well-integrated tannins leave a silky finish. A ridiculously food-friendly, true Oregon wine with fruit, earth, and spice.
