Drink of the Week: Suzor Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2011

With Imbibe HQ a mere hour’s drive from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, we're surrounded by an embarrassment of wine riches, including today's Drink of the Week. We featured Suzor Pinot Noir as one of the flavors to try in this year’s Imbibe 75 issue, and winemaker Greg McClellan's inaugural vintage of Suzor Pinot Noir is not to be missed. Crafted from fruit grown in his family’s vineyard, this wine is delicate but assured, offering a mix of red fruit flavors mixed with a bouquet of fresh herbs. It's a lovely any-night sipper, and definitely one of the region’s best we’ve tasted for the price. $35, astorwines.com
