The Eyrie Vineyards Rosé of Pinot Noir 2017
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesMakes sense that Jason Lett, son of Papa Pinot, would make a pinot noir rosé distinctly classic modern Oregon. By that, I mean this dry, medium bodied, peach-hued rosé feels current, while steeped in tradition. Organically dry farmed pinot noir from Dundee and Eola-Amity were purpose picked and fermented in a variety of stainless and neutral oak vessels (2/3, 1/3) and then blended into six months' rest in the latter. Wild strawberries, perfumed raspberries, morello cherry and sweet cranberry sauce kisses fill the medium palate, one with no RS, but a natural sense of pretty fruit sweetness on the round, creamy palate. Provence elegance meets Willamette generosity, resulting in a drink now with all folks kind of wine. Plus, Jason painted the artwork gracing the label himself.Tasted: 26 December 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| USA | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
