Proud Pour, Umpqua Valley (Oregon) Pinot Noir 2016

 With both delicacy and strength, this classically styled Pinot Noir is tasty indeed.  It offers enticing aromas as well as appetizing red fruit and earthy flavors. It has supple tannins, and depth as well as length.  The bottle’s front label proclaims in large letters, “This Wine Saves Bee Species,” alerting consumers to the fact that a portion of every purchase of Proud Pour’s Pinot Noir is devoted to planting wildflowers to help support the native honeybees that are so important to human existence.
