2022 The Four Graces Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
September - 2024
It was our pleasure last week, to have an old friend come and visit us for a couple of days, and in honor of the occasion, we threw a big slab on the grill. In this case, a two inch thick, twenty ounce New York Strip. Cooked a perfect medium rare, it was more than enough for the three of us! We completed the feast with an excellent bottle of Pinot Noir, from Oregon's Willamette Valley. Good Friends, Good Food, and Good Wine, are hard to beat!
The Four Graces 2022 vintage is a classic style Oregon Pinot Noir, with good fruit and a tantalizing finish, which begs for another sip! The flavors are Plum, Black Cherry, and a hint of Raspberry. It has good color and structure, and a perfect balance between fruit and acidity. The alcohol content is 13.5%. and Norm's score is 91.
The choice was a good one for grilled New York Strip, but would be even better with medium rare Prime Rib!
score: 91
price : $20 - $27
Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!
Here's looking at you Kid!
