title: Willamette Valley Vineyards 2008 South Block Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: Pretty and complex, this delivers a mélange of interesting flavors. Round, tart fruits—berries and sour plum— mingle with dried leaves, cut tobacco and mushroom. Somehow a citrus streak sneaks into the finish, giving the wine a lemony lift. Delicious already, it can be cellared for another 5–6 years.
variety: Pinot Noir
