2018 Larkspur Dundee Oregon Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., $9.99 (with grocery store 6-pack purchase). Easily
located in your favorite supermarket (Kroger, Fred Meyer, Fry’s etc.). Winemaker is Sarah Cabot who has
several years of winemaking experience with Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley. Vineyard sources and
vinification details not available.
·
Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Welcoming aromas of black cherry
and subtle oak spice. Silky in the mouth and very easygoing, with a core of black cherry fruit accented with a
hint of spice. The tannins are well-proportioned, oak is well-mannered, and the dry, lip-smacking finish has a
little length. This wine will not lead to an epiphany but will work as a satisfying everyday quaff.
Score: 88.

2017 Larkspur Dundee Oregon Pinot Noir
13.0% alc., $14.27.
·
Moderately light garnet color in the glass.
The flavors supersede the aromas of wooded path, forest and reserved red cherry. Light to mid weight in style,
featuring oak-kissed flavors of cherry, red raspberry, and cranberry with a sidecar of tobacco. Well-balanced
tannins and zippy acidity with a decent fruity finish.
Score: 87.
