Rambeaux Pinot Noir is Dusky Goose’s approachable option. Unlike many earth-driven Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs, Rambeaux is fruit-driven with black cherry, cranberry, tart pomegranate, fig, and just a touch of underbrush. This style is an ideal bridge for Sonoma Pinot Noir lovers, who seek the fruitiness of Pinot Noir, into Willamette’s more earth-driven style. At $40, the price is quite competitive for a quality Pinot from Willamette.
