Willamette Valley Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir 2018
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesFrom five estate vineyards around the Willamette, this rested 10 months in oak before 15 months' rest in bottle prior to release. Downy and plush and soft, with ripe cherry and forest floor scented with smoke and ample toasted cedar. Tannins are ample and ragged, drawing this to a warming finish. On the rustic side, and certainly calling out for grilled meats/burgers.Tasted: 24 June 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:USA | $40.00 | 750ml | USA |
