Et Fille Pinot Noir Palmer Creek Vineyard Willamette Valley 2017

We’ve been buying assorted bottlings from Et Fille for a few years now, and MAN do they just keep getting better and better! The mainstream wine press has definitely caught on, too, but we snagged 22 cases before the score came out for you at a must-have price.

We can’t disagree with a word here. The wine is lovely, really, no other words, intense and floral, with excellent structure and rich midpalate… We love it. At $26, it’s WOW territory!

PAIRING IDEAS: We love this recipe for shrimp pasta! The only thing we do differently is oil and grill the shrimp to give a smokiness and another level of flavor. Be generous with the cheese, too, of course, the pinot noir will LOVE it!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: New Kurt Vile is out - “Sirens of Titan.”
