The culmination of a warm, Oregon summer, 2012 Hunters Reserve Pinot Noir is rich, full-bodied with undertones of black cherries and light tannins. It pairs well with lamb, steak, venison, glazed ham, roast turkey as well as Brie and similar cheeses.
How customers are describing the wine: "It makes an impression!", "bold, pronounced", "pleasant, easy to drink", "good flavor with a clean finish", "rich and hearty", "Goes well with anything, with or without food!"
