Primarius Pinot Noir 2018
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesFrom a selection of vineyards across Oregon, this was entirely destemmed, fermented whole berry, and aged in a mix of 95% French / 5% American oak (10% new) for 8 months. Soft and plush in the mouth, with ripe cherry, forest notes, ripe plum on a downy, easy palate, framed with lightly sticky tannins, and finishing briefly with a swell of warmth. A well-made entry Oregon pinot for drinking now.Tasted: 24 June 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $25.99 | 750ml | consignment |
