VinoBuy: 2006 Cherry Hill Pinot Noir- out of the blue!
2006 CHERRY HILL WINERY Estate Pinot Noir
$16.95 bottle....$165.00 case
I have to admit I had never heard of these guys before they brought their delectable 2006 pinot noir in for me to taste. Apparently they grow grapes at their vineyard for some of Oregon’s big name winemakers. They also recently started bottling a bit of their own, and man is this stuff good, especially at this exceptionally affordable price (all too rare for Oregon noir, right?!) Classic Oregon noir, with aromas and flavors of strawberry, cherry, plum, spice, and smoke with touches of Willamette Valley earth around the edges. This ’06 is drinking exceptionally well right now. Rich and ripe, with lovely texture and feel on the palate. The finish is broad and full, velvety smooth and leaving a silky layer of fruit in your mouth. For the money this is a steal, and I highly recommend you add this one to your repertoire. Perfect for dinner tonight with some roast chicken or grilled salmon. Not bad all by its lonesome either!
