The Nittany Epicurean Reviews Pike Road Wines
It is always great to see folks spreading the word about great Oregon wines! Thank you to The Nittany Epicurean for recently reviewing our 2014 Pike Road Willamette Valley Pinot Noir:
"The wine showed a medium ruby color. Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, loamy earth, oak and whiffs of vanilla each arrived on the nose. Cherry, raspberry, currant, oak, mossy earth and hints of dried sage followed on the palate where the sage dissipated as the wine opened up. The wine exhibited good structure and length, along with well-integrated tannins. This wine would be a natural pair with grilled cedar plank salmon."

They also tried our 2015 Pinot Gris last summer:
"The wine showed a pale straw color. Tart apple, lime, chalk, hay and whiffs of lemon zest each arrived on a crisp and refreshing nose. Granny Smith apple, lime, hay and slate followed on the palate. The wine exhibited good acidity and balance, along with good structure and length. It would be an excellent aperitif and would pair well with steamed clams or grilled shrimp."
