BIG TABLE FARM Pinot Noir 2021
(Willamette Valley, OR) $50
One of the best things about a top Oregon Pinot Noir is how it feels—silk on satin. Plus a rich core of lively fruit that’s just ripe but never overripe. Big Table Farm makes a slew of these. Their Pinot from the Willamette Valley is their basic appellation wine (they also make more expensive single vineyard wines), but it’s always one of my favorites. Can a wine taste like an explosion of cool crunchy cherries? Or an eruption of raspberry coulis? The purity, freshness, and aliveness of this wine is addictive. As the saying goes: run don’t walk. Big Table Farm’s Pinot Noirs—with their charming letterpress labels hand-drawn by the co-owner—sell out fast.
