Belle Vallée 2007 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
A clear ruby red in the glass, the Belle Vallée 2007 Pinot Noir (13.6%) was a bit stinky at first but this soon blew off to reveal aromas of bright red fruit and spice. On the palate, this Willamette Valley pinot noir delivered a light mouthfeel combined with delicious flavors of cherry, raspberry and blueberry combined with balanced acidity. We paired the Belle Vallée with grilled flank steak (with a teriyaki-style marinade), rice, and a carrot salad. I enjoyed this wine with our meal, which was purchased at retail for $18.
