title: Phelps Creek 2007 Le Petit Pinot Noir (Columbia Gorge (OR))
description: For an inexpensive Oregon Pinot Noir, this has a lovely, expansive aroma that mingles rose petals, strawberry, white chocolate and cola. This is elegant, supple and entirely approachable, with none of the hard, earthy, vegetal or bitter character that can often characterize inexpensive Pinots. Think of a really good village Burgundy from a ripe vintage such as 2005, but at a much better price.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Le Petit
