You'd be hard pressed to find a better Willamette Valley Pinot Noir value than this early release from Stoller. It has a beautifully earthy mix of blackberry tea and loamy soil aromas that are complemented by notes of seared steak and lilacs. It is a balanced, almost medium-bodied, wine with a silky texture. Flavors like blackberry jam, thyme, cedarwood and a tart and tangy bit of sumac coat the palate in fine fashion. This wine made me happy. When I saw the price, I crossed over to ecstatic ville.
