At $20 a bottle, Straight Shooter is moderately priced for Willamette Valldey Pinot Noir and, as a result, is often found as a wine by the glass in restaurants. It does, however, have the hallmark features of good Oregon Pinot Noir. The grapes come from sub-appellations in the Eola-Amity Hills and McMinnville.
Medium light Pinot color.Scents of roses and red fruit; flavors of Bing cherry and red raspberry with touches of vanilla, cinnamon and orange peel. Bright fruit with good acidity and delicate tannins. Matched up well with a delicious pappardelle bolognese dish at Compass+Cleaver in Gull Lake, MI.
