Everyone knows that the Willamette Valley makes some fabulous Pinot Noir. Unfortunately the fact that everyone knows this means it’s hard to find examples under $20. Today we’ve got an excellent one, however, that just squeaks in a couple of dollars under our limit.
The 2015 Left Coast Cellars Cali’s Cuvee Pinot Noir begins with a very pleasing aroma of plum, black cherry, spice, cola and a bit of tomato plant. It gets even better when tasting with plenty of juicy fruit, more cola and a nice earthy streak. Medium-bodied, smooth and easy to drink, this is a really tasty Pinot Noir. Some late developing spice leads into the long, dry finish featuring lingering tobacco and licorice notes.
