RKS 2024 Wine: Trustworthy Oregon for Pinot Noir? A Vacant Faced Zombie

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

The way tastings have been progressing this year Oregon scores high with Pinot Noir quality and has been doing so for years leaps and bounds over New Zealand Pinot Noir.

From Christopher Michael Wines from Tualatin, Oregon we try a Christopher Michael 2022 Pinot Noir.

Aroma: Strawberry, raspberry and a streak of milk chocolate.

Palate: About animated as a vacant faced zombie. As robust as Twiggy. Thin and weak. At best a smidge of sour cherry if you use your imagination.

Personality: Not much to speak of.

Cellarbility: Drink now if you dare.

Price: $22 CDN (Ontario).

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 73/100. Wine Align 88.
