Andrew Rich Pinot noir "Cuvee B" 07

Winery: Andrew Rich

Andrew Rich Cuvee B Pinot noir 07 - has welcoming aromas of raspberry and strawberry, which signal the rich flavors to come. Crushed raspberry and spicy red currant mix with sweet roses on a silky smooth frame. There's a juiciness that lifts through the finish, bringing a smile to your face when you realize the bottle is only $24! As always, the Andrew Rich Cuvee B is one of the standout values in Oregon Pinot noir.

2005 Cuvee B Tasting Notes

Catch it while you can. The "Cuvee B" sells out more rapidly with each vintage. Andrew makes excellent wines, regardless of the varietal but my favorite wines are his Pinots. Creamy cherry and dark berry flavors are complemented by subtle aromas of dried flowers, herbs, smoke and minerals. Perfectly integrated and yummy!

ANDREW HAS THIS TO SAY: "The softer, more "fruit-driven" Pinot bottling, the 2005 Cuv?e B comprises vineyards in the Chehalem, Yamhill-Carlton, Dundee Hills, and McMinnville AVAs. Though not a big wine, the entry and mid-palate are plush, and the finish is moderately long, with a nice balance of both red and black fruit aromas and flavors, as well as an intriguing earthy note. Serve it early and often."
