2021 Chehalem 'Chehalem Mountains' Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon   

This wine jumps out of the glass. The transition from bright red fruit to dark cherries, gives it complexity and depth, but the overall profile stays approachable, making it a fun wine to share. If you are looking to dive into the silky tannins, they will take you on a ride, but if you are feeling the need for an easy, juicy sipper, this Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir will meet you there.
