Willamette Valley Vineyards 2007 Tualatin Pinot Noir / Willamette Valley
The winery and underground cellar are carved into the top of an ancient volcanic flow, the soil red from its oxidized iron content and well-drained. This unique terroir is similar to the red clay soil found in the Grand Cru Pinot Noir vineyards of Romaneé-st-Vivant in Burgundy.
The lavish nose of cherry, plum, strawberry, cola, and licorice is quite inviting. A sip brings cherry, plum, and cranberry flavors to the forefront, with notes of vanilla, as well as a touch of spice and minerals rounding out the palate. Light, bright, and lovely, this Pinot is perfectly suited for lamb.

An alumni of Sonoma State University, being in the heart of wine country only furthered the fascination and appreciation Jason had for the majestic drink. Now, as FBWorld.com’s wine editor, he hopes to convince people who claim to not like wine that they simply haven’t tried the right bottle yet. He also does not understand why more twenty-somethings don’t drink wine and wants to promote their appreciation for the stuff.
