Rainstorm Winery 2013 Pinot Noir, Oregon, $17
By Great Northwest Wine on October 2, 2015
Nicolas Quille, a Portland-based vintner and disciple of iconic Randall Grahm, spearheads the Rainstorm brand for the Banfi group and sources from the Willamette and Umpqua valleys for this rather tasty — and affordable — expression of Pinot Noir. It’s fruit-forward throughout, starting with aromas of boysenberry, Bing cherry and black currant that pick up a whiff of saddle leather. Inside, it’s a pleasant and approachable drink with reddish tones as boysenberry, red currant and pie cherry make for a juicy finish.
