Van Duzer Pinot Noir 2015 Review
This is an elegant, tranquil, and wistful style of Willamette Pinot. The color is medium light, and aromas include bramble fruit and something reminiscent of a clean, sunny barn. Flavors include strawberry-rhubarb pie and a hint of clove. The texture of the wine is medium-light with subtle, dry tannins. It’s not the most complex Willamette Pinot you’ll come across, but it’s very pleasant – especially if you like a lighter, subtler style of Pinot.
