Chehalem Pinot Noir Chehalem Mountains

Not sure seemed better on second day. Simple Cherry coke out of the bottle.

Really nice classic cherry Oregon Pinot that went well with a very varied savory and sweet charcuterie board. Didn't overpower multiple cheeses and had enough oomph for the spicy salami.

Very good, lite spice cherry..

2017 Vintage. Purchased from Garagiste. Great QPR. Smooth and earthy, just like we like it.

Good, light, sour cherry; little spice. No noticeable tannins… would happily do again..

Modest aromatics, somewhat earthy with notes of red fruit, dried leaves, thyme, baking spice, and cedar, even palate exhibiting flavors of early picked red cherry, cranberry, pepper, mocha powder, and grapefruit pith, very round, soft tannins, finishing with red plum.

Solid

Retail $30. This winery, started by Harry Nedry-Petersen and Bill Stoller in 1990, is now, since 2018, wholly owned by Stoller Winery.

Stewed cherries and spices on the nose. Lovely after decanting for a half hour.

Medium plus nose is pretty, rose petal, orange tea, dusty cherry. Palate shows fruit and tart, dry structure together with acid, so nicely balanced. Finish shows the fruit, layers of light red flavors. Nice Oregon style.

The Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir : Retail $30. Classic nose: balanced fruit and earth. Good fruit, lacking a bit of depth but finishes tart and fine. Very Good to Excellent. 88-90 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com
