Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon









Van Duzer Pinot Noir 2006
This wine is 100% Pinot Noir but is made from 7 different clones.

This night I tasted a few wines, but definitely this was the star, this is a deep Pinot, elegant and complex, dark garnet color. Flowery and spicy, a lot of violets and well integrated spices as clove and cinnamon, marshmallows and ripe red fruit also blackberry and black cherry. Medium to long finish.
Great value, price below $30.
For me this wine will pair well with grill lamb chops, smoked breast duck and oven roasted turkey with prune or apple sauce.
