This Oregon Pinot was a nice compliment to the Cobb salad. The wine didn't overpower the grilled chicken and it went well with the Maytag blue cheese crumbled on top. Bright, beautiful claret red, and clear through the glass, gorgeous in the sun. The nose is red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, cherry, and earthy, with notes of olives and mushroom. Light to medium (for Pinot) mouth weight and a nice finish. It's a nice example of an Oregon Pinot Noir that's more on the fruity side than terroir-driven Burgundy. About $30 in upstate NY, again from the Wine House in Manlius. Tasted March 23, 2009.
