Eyrie Vineyards Daphne Pinot Noir 2013
Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesPlanted at the hill crest of Eyrie's estate vineyards, Daphne is one of the oldest and highest elevation plantings in the Dundee Hills. In response to the harsh environent, the vines are tiny and scrawny (but strong) with tiny berries. The site, at 865 feet, was for many years considered too high for red wine. Thank goodness for Lett's not listening. Wild raspberry, cranberry stream through the slender wine. There's a lovely supple wild strawberry mid palate, lined with plum and meadow herbs, drawn tight and fine on the shimmery finish. So nimble and pristine, with a nonchalant lifted acidity which instantly charms. Youthful still, this has leagues to go.Tasted: 05 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| US | $75.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
