- 2019 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Heritage No. 15 Whistling Ridge Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge (2/5/2024)
The only reason I opened this is because I really wanted a Goodfellow Pinot Noir, and this was the first one I ran across. Don't be fooled by the color, as it's barely darker than a Rosé. It's still painfully young, but it's also an aromatically interesting wine. "Chew" on it a little and the structure comes out, and air brings depth the to the mid-palate while retaining lightness. There is also a lingering, ethereal finish that signals even more enjoyment is in store for the future. I should not have opened yet another bottle of this so soon, but I don't regret the experience!
