Alexana Terroir Series Pinot Noir 2016
Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesA selection of barrels from the younger blocks of the Revana vineyard in Dundee Hills, along with vineyards in Yamhill-Carlton, Eola-Amity, Chehalem Mountains, and McMinnville. Each lot is separately native fermented before aging 11 months in French oak (23% new). Sweet plum, cassis jam, fill a plump palate, hemmed in with fine staves of toasted French oak which linger on the finish. Quite a plush and stylish pinot, well suited to roasted duck.Tasted: 05 November 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $39.95 | 750ml | consignment - Profile Wine Group |
