Wine Enthusiast Magazine just selected the Willamette Valley, Oregon as the 2016 Wine Region of the Year. They note the outstanding quality of its wines, especially Pinot Noir, and the growth of the region, which today is home to 530 wineries. Coincidentally, my local Costco began selling Primarius Pinot Noir Willamette Valley and temporarily has reduced the price from $15.99 to $10.99 thru Christmas Eve.
Precept Wines is the producer of Primarius Wines. They produce a more common Primarius Pinot Noir Oregon as well as this less common Pinot Noir Willamette Valley. Precept Wines does not even mention Pinot Noir Willamette Valley on their website, but it is assumed that it is a higher quality wine than the Pinot Noir Oregon.
This Pinot Noir is a lighter colored red wine. I found it to be very bland, with flavors of strawberry and cherry but not much else. I think you can find much better Pinot Noir.
SC Wine Joe rating = 86 points
