2016 Broadley Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., $20. Sourced from several vineyards along with added estate fruit and vinified as a forward drinking, value priced wine. I tasted this wine with winemaker Morgan Broadley while visiting the Willamette Valley in late July 2017. 100% destemmed fruit. Wild yeast fermentation and aged 10 months in neutral French oak barrels. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Giving aromas of dark cherry and rose petal. Light to mid weight cherry and red berry fruit core with seamless oak backup, easy going tannins, and a juicy finish. Lively, fresh and open. Ideal for summer drinking. Score: 89.
