McKinlay Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 08

Winery: McKinlay

McKinlay Willamette Valley 08 - always a super deal, the newly released 08 is packed with juicy, dark cherry flavors.

Previous vintage tasting notes: Matt Kinne makes small lots of carefully crafted Pinot noir and then sells it for a low low price. His simple labels and utter lack of marketing might make you pass this one by, but as our local Oregon customers know, his wines are super deals.

This 07 shows what a skilled winemaker who knows his vineyard can do in a difficult vintage. Matt's super value Pinot has bright berry and red cherry fruit with just a tiny hint of spice. The wine opens up in your mouth and shows hints of spice and a hint of cream. You can sip this wine, and pair with foods from pizza to turkey to lamb. Matt is truly a very talented vintner.
