Name: Cloudline Pinot Noir Region: Williamette Valley, Oregon
Country: Mmmmurica
Year: 2011

Website review:A beautiful, dark ruby color, the nose develops well in the glass, and it possesses an intense aromatic bouquet, reminiscent of spices, blackcurrant and other red and black berries. On the palate, Cloudline offers a caressing texture and a long flavorful finish.
My review: These Oregon Pinto Noirs are what's up. This is the second (or maybe the 3rd) that I've had that I've loved! I'm going to keep looking for labels that are from this region! I've actually had this wine before. My boyfriend and I ordered it at my favorite Italian restraunt last time I was home. I really liked it then, but I couldn't really remember anything about it other than that. SO, the BF bought it for me again for easter Linner (lunch/dinner). It smells berry on the nose for sure... probably red berries but also spicey which I'm a fan of. I also liked the low tannins and buttary type taste. The after taste really sticks with you but it is still very smooth and easy to drink. It's just an all around balanced and drinkable wine and it went really with the food we ate. Not that it really brought out any flavors or anything like that, but it just complemnted the fact that I was eating (probably because it's a new world). I recommend it!
Food: steak and potatoes
