2013 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

90 Points | Vinous – Vivid red. Spice- and mineral-tinged aromas of redcurrant and cherry pit are complemented by deeper-pitched notes of cola and licorice. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and peppery spice flavors that flesh out with aeration. Dusty tannins build slowly through a spicy, nervy finish.

Comprised of Pinot Noir grapes from the following vineyards: Muska, Big Cheese, Crannell, Crawford, Temperance Hill, DeuxVert, Sunny Mountain, and Sunset View.
