Brilliant red. Fresh red berries, cinnamon and a hint of woodsmoke on the fragrant nose. Pliant raspberry and cherry cola flavors are braced by tangy acidity and a touch of blood orange. Sappy, penetrating and precise; a jolt of peppery spices enlivens the long, gently tannic finish. This sexy Pinot delivers absolutely superb value.

The pale to medium ruby-purple colored 2016 Planet Oregon Pinot Noir is scented of warm black cherries, blueberry and boysenberry preserves with touches of tar, black pepper and petrichor. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with warm, ripe black and blue fruits laced with spice and earth with soft tannins and great juicy, mouthwatering acidity on the warm-fruited finish. Yum!
