2018 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Long Acre Whistling Ridge Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge (12/8/2022)
Contrary to may other tasting reviews here, I don't fully agree that this wine is that acidic. I think it has some fine, drying tannins that fools the palate into thinking that, but it's actually rather well balanced. Yes, cranberries on top, but this is not a fruit salad - not on the palate nor on the nose, which I kind of find quite refreshing and intriguing. It makes you dig a bit more.I agree with another taster that this wine takes you on a little journey in the glass with time. And may I be so blasphemous as to say, I find a lot of similarities with my 2019 Mission (not as many as the Franny Beck Pinot Noir - that’s a total dead ringer). Something about those slightly bitter Campari notes/fine tannins they seem to share. I hope that doesn’t upset anyone getting compared to a lowly Mission;) (92 points)
