2008 Pali Wine Co. Alphabets Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., $18, screw cap. Aged 10 months in 50% new French oak barrels. · This is a ripe fruit styled Pinot Noir more typical of California than Oregon. Copious dark red cherries and berries kissed with oak in a simple fruity wine that is smooth in the mouth and finishes with a zing of acidity. Decent. Reviewed July 15, 2010
