WOW: Blakeslee Vineyard Pinot Noir

WOW: Wine of the Week


Pinot Perfect: Blakeslee Vineyard Pinot Noir

Blakeslee Vineyard Pinot Noir
Another NEW product to North Carolina distribution and Loyal Uncorked Clients...please welcome Blakeslee Vineyards!

This well balanced Willamette Valley Pinot Noir enters the market at just over $25 per bottle.  Very reasonable for an Oregon Pinot Noir indeed.

New to the market and new to you...try this Pinot Noir today.  It is the natural wine to help transition from crisp, refreshing white wines of Summer into the heavy, hearty red wines of Fall and Winter.  Keep this wine in mind when planning for  your Thanksgiving gathering (I didn't want to say it, but it IS just around the corner!).

Product Description

"Overall, the timing of he 2009 growing season was fairly typical for Oregon. A warm and dry summer gave way to several high heat spells in late August and early September. This pushed sugars up earlier than usual, but still required further time and patience to wait for flavors to catch up in the ripening process. Picking was is line with average Oregon vintages.  The Willamette Valley Pinot Noir released from Blakeslee Vineyard Estate, is 100% Pinot Noir, 49% pommard 49% 115, and 3% 777. All Chehalem Mountain, AVA." - Winery Notes.

  1. I recently discovered that this fruit is from the Blakeslee Vineyard Estate, so you get a single vineyard Pinot Noir for $25!
