Wine by Joe 2010 Pinot Noir


B and I love the Wine by Joe label.  Created by Joe Dobbes of Dobbes Family Estate in Dundee, OR (http://www.joedobbeswines.com/), this Pinot Noir is a superb example that inexpensive bottles of pinot can be just as complex and delicious as any $60-90 bottle.  The 2010 Pinot Noir can be purchased at grocery stores in Oregon for around $14 (online at wine.com - http://www.wine.com/V6/Wine-By-Joe-Pinot-Noir-2010/wine/116228/detail.aspx).  

The bottle is a twist off cap...I love those!  The color is on the darker side for a Willamette Valley pinot.  The legs are fast and thin and in the glass the wine smells like cherry, plum and hints of blackberry.  This pinot is a bit on the heavy side of 'medium bodied' but well rounded and tasty! Very fruit forward with a hint of spice mid palette.  The best part about the '10 Wine by Joe Pinot, is that it goes with any meal!  I had it this evening with chicken stir fry, but we've enjoyed it with anything from pizza to crab louis salads.  

Just do me a favor, go and try this pinot, and tell me what you think.  I guarantee you will enjoy it.

Until next time folks.  xoxo.
