Pinot Noir can sometimes seem daunting to some wine drinkers, but it’s not. This week, Chris has five wines from the Willamette Valley 2022 vintage. Originally, experts thought 2022 was going to be a continuation of a run of bad vintages, but things turned around with high quality fruit and better yields than predicted.

• Maison Noir OPP Other People’s Pinot 2022
• Hyland Estates Petit Pinot Noir 2022
• Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Dundee Hills 2022
• Cristom Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvee 2022
• Patricia Green Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard 2022
