2013 Boedecker Cellars Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., $20, screwcap. Native fermentation, hand punch downs, aged 9 months in French oak barrels, 6 months on the lees with stirring. · Light cherry red color in the glass. Lovely aromas of red cherry, spice, dried herbs, earthy flora and redwood log. Light in weight but flavorful, with tastes of red cherries and berries and blueberry that are earth-kissed. Very elegant, with a deft touch of oak in the background and gossamer tannins. The wine does not have a bevy of nuance, but is very like able. A perfect everyday table wine crafted in a classic Oregon style. Score: 90. Reviewed March 12, 2016
