Raptor Ridge, Chehalem Mountains (Oregon) Pinot Noir 2012

Jun 17, 2015

By Rich Cook

Fruit for this wine is sourced from Raptor Ridge’s Tuscowallame vineyard, and it delivers serious Oregon elegance, with cherry, earth, sage and soft oak spice aromas and flavors over vibrant acidity and a well integrated finish that lingers long.  It’s a subtle wine, so go easy on the spices with your food preparations — a simple roast game hen would fit the bill nicely.
