Description

Erath's Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley showcases the elegance and nuance expected from this renowned region. This wine is an exquisite representation of Oregon's cool climate, delivering a light to medium body with a finely structured profile distinct from its richer Californian counterparts. At first sip, you'll encounter a symphony of red fruit notes, with vibrant strawberry and raspberry taking the lead, subtly interwoven with delicate floral aromas. As the wine opens up, earthy undertones of mushroom and truffle emerge, adding layers of complexity and depth. This Pinot Noir’s balanced acidity and gentle tannins make it a versatile companion at the dining table. It particularly shines when paired with dishes that complement its complexity, such as pork tenderloin, duck, or cedar plank salmon. For vegetarian options, consider dishes that incorporate wild mushrooms, which harmonize beautifully with the wine's earthy notes. To fully appreciate the breadth of aromas and flavors, serve this Pinot Noir slightly chilled, ideally between 55°F and 60°F. Decanting isn't necessary for a wine of this style, but letting it breathe for a few minutes before pouring can enhance its aromatic complexity. Opt for a wide-bowled glass to allow the aromas to fully develop, and consider enjoying this wine in its youth, when its vibrant fruit flavors are at their peak. In conclusion, Erath's Pinot Noir is a testament to the winemaking prowess found in Oregon's Willamette Valley, offering a wine that is both approachable and layered. Whether you're new to Pinot Noir or a seasoned aficionado, this bottle promises a delightful exploration of flavors and a true representation of what the Oregon terroir can produce.

    Super smooth with grilled salmon, honestly disappeared too fast. Goes down so easy.

    Response from CBC Liquors, Westford

    Salmon and Erath together is hard to beat. Try it with roast chicken sometime too. - Marie

  • Sean Roberts ★★★★☆

    Solid Oregon pinot for under fifteen bucks. Light but not thin, just a touch fruitier than I wanted.

    Response from CBC Liquors, Westford

    You nailed it, Erath is on the fruitier side for Willamette Pinots. For something earthier, try Underwood next time.
