We served it on Thanksgiving to rave reviews after Howie Rubin at Bauer Wine & Spirits<\/a> pointed it out to us. This is a wine that is big on flavor. The notes that Bauer sent out about it said: <\/p>\n

"Planet Oregon Pinot noir is a lovely, garnet colored wine. A delectable aroma of fresh raspberries, just picked on a hot summer day, almost takes your breath away. An upfront juiciness follows through with mouthwatering flavors of raspberries, blackberries, and cherries, tinged with a suggestion of sweet baking spices and dried herbs. A pretty, easy to love wine, ready to drink. Close your eyes while drinking it and be taken to an Oregon vineyard on a perfect summer day."<\/em><\/p>\n

In many fewer words let us say, we loved it from first sniff to final sip.<\/p>\n
