This is a fine option when you’re seeking fresh, light Pinot that won’t stomp on a moderately robust fish dish like steelhead trout. The bright acidity lets you know this hails from Oregon, and the tartness of the wine will prove very pleasing to those who aren’t hooked on the sweeter profile that marks so many California renditions of Pinot Noir. There’s not much muscle to this, but if you’ve ordered a dish in a restaurant that you don’t want muscled, this will do the trick.
