Avalon WIneDistinguished Deals
Under $25 Pinot noir
From Oregon's Cornerstone Wineries

Certain wineries form the foundation of Oregon's wine industry -- Bethel Heights, Lange, St Innocent among them. Excellent under $25 Oregon Pinot noirs are hard to find, mostly from new, indie wineries. Bethel Heights, Lange, and St Innocent could sell every Pinot they make for well over $30.

That they continue to offer these extremely good values
is remarkable, and commendable.

Bethel Heights Eola Amity Hills Cuvee Pinot noir 06 $23.95/$21.55
Generous Pricing from Avalon - We've got the deal!
Welcoming aromas of warm raspberries, cloves, and woodspice, with little hints of red plums. Rich red cherries lead into a burst of spice-accented red fruit. The texture is supple and attractive, while the ribbon of fine tannins and the juicy acidity suggest this Pinot will develop nicely in your cellar. Buy a case--six for now and six for the cellar! At this value, you can't go wrong.
Elsewhere on the web, $27.00 or more.

St Innocent Willamette Valley Villages Cuvee Pinot noir 06 $24.95/$22.45
Lots and lots of red fruit scents like red raspberry, tart red cherry, red currant, and red plum. HInts of soft toast, blackberry, vanilla, and smoke. Sweet, juicy red cherry is the initial impression, refreshing and balanced. As the wine opens in the mouth, the midpalate finds intense, bold, darker fruit and barrel toast notes- these darker tones add weight and depth to the otherwise juicy, fruity wine. The tannins are silky, present in perfect balance, seamless and lushly textured.

Lange Willamette Valley Pinot noir 06 $21.95/$19.75
Supple red fruit, classic Oregon Pinot noir balance, flavors that expand on your palate, with just the right amount of structure for food or for putting away for a couple years. Enticing aromas of red raspberry, sweet cherries and a hint of pie spice. Flavors are of luscious red plum, red currant and berry complemented by an earthy note of minerality in the finish.
