$50, 4 stars, 92 points, oregon, pinot noir, willamette valley
Pale ruby colored, fading to pale garnet, with medium viscosity (13.8% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of black cherry, baking spices, ripe pomegranate, orange peel, black raspberry, toasty oak, and Turkish coffee. The palate is dry, with medium (+) acidity, a medium (-) body, and medium (-) tannins. The flavors are medium in intensity and hone in on dark red fruit. The oak influence is not as evident as the nose, with the focus being on black raspberry and black cherry. I like it- the zesty tartness of the acidity makes for a lively mouthfeel. The finish is medium (+) in length and juicy. 92 points from me for this $50 bottle gets it 4 stars. Drink till 2033. Salut….
