Oregon Pinot Noir For Fall

October 1, 2018


As temperatures begin to dip down and leaves begin to fall, we slowly embrace our next season. It has been a great summer for white wines and rose, but as the weather slowly changes, red wines become to take their place at the kitchen table. Pinot Noir is a great transitional varietal from white to red. We have been truly fortunate with the last few vintages in Oregon, seeing near ideal growing conditions. In my last Oregon Report  there was an astonishing number of wines that I scored 90 points and higher which showed the impressive overall quality of wines coming from Oregon. Pinot Noir from the 2015 vintage in Oregon is typically ripe and round, with generous red fruits and more subtle earthy tones. It is quite frankly the perfect transitional wine as the weather cools (and is also a classic pairing for the Thanksgiving table). Here are some recommended Oregon Pinot Noirs for fall, including the links attached to the prices so you can find them.
