2021 Commuter Cuvee Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Wine Review:
2021 Commuter Cuvee Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Grochau Cellars
Cost:  $23.00
Alcohol:  13.6%
 
We are determined not to spend more than $25.00 for a bottle of wine, but still find outstanding quality.  This Pinot Noir from Oregon certainly fits the bill.  The Grochau Cellars Commuter Cuvee Pinot Noir is exactly what we were looking for in a bottle for pizza night.  A pure delight with a nose of lavender and fresh spring flowers.  A lingering of dark berries that still contained a nice fruitiness balanced with good acidity.  This is definitely a repeat buy for us here in the Carondelet Kitchen. 
 
Added benefit:  A portion of the proceeds from each bottle of Commuter Cuvee goes to the charity:  No Kid Hungry.  A really nice wine from a generous company.  Win-Win!
