2016 Cloudline Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $14.99. Bottled by Cloudline Cellars,
Dundee, Oregon. A Drouhin family label. Currently a featured wine at Trader Joe’s stores and
widely available in supermarkets.
·
Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Lovely aromas of
cherry, spice, malt and earth. Good richness and juiciness in a mid weight style featuring a core of
black cherry fruit accent with an oak compliment. Forward drinking, rather elegant, with minimal
tannins and a modest finish. Very good Pinot character at this price point. The wine held up in the
glass over several hours.
Score: 89.
