Evesham Wood Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023

25% off special! 93 points Decanter: "The best value in American Pinot Noir, the Evesham Wood Willamette Valley bottling amazes in the $25 range. This wine is an assemblage from the top sites used in the Evesham Wood single-vineyard bottlings, blended to give a picture of a year in the valley.

The palate is filled with electric red fruits, tart cranberries, blood orange, and a tremendous salty minerality that cuts through the fruit brilliantly." Most of the Willamette Valley's best Pinot Noir values come and go; they are strong in some vintages, less so in others. Never this.
