The Wine: 2007 Stoller Vineyards Pinot Noir
The Price: $23.99 at Costco
Chehalem is an Oregon winery, located in the Willamette Valley's incredible Dundee Hills AVA. Chehalem was founded in 1990 by Harry Peterson-Nedry
and Bill & Cathy Stoller.
The bottle was sealed with a natural cork, and the wine was decanted an hour before tasting. The wine is ruby in color with a slight brown cast to it. It is a bit thinner in appearance than I prefer in a Pinot Noir.
The wine has aromas of blackberry, cherry, plum and leather. It has flavors of raspberry, cherry and blackberry with just a touch of spice.
This is a very good wine. It has bright fruit flavors, and is very smooth and well-balanced. It's definitely a wine worth trying!
