Bethel Heights Vineyard Casteel 2012
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThis was the first vintage of Casteel, a barrel select blend from several blocks in Eola-Amity Hills that spent 14 months in French oak, 40 percent of which were new. That wood hewn is still evident on the finish through a gentle flush of warmth, even through the generous baked cherry, floral raspberry, strawberry pie and sapid plum fruit. Tannins are supple, acidity fine but persistent, and the finish bright and spice cake scented. Classic Eola-Amity, this riper pinot benefits from time in the glass and a match with duck.Tasted: 09 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| USA | $60.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
