The 2016 ‘Willamette Valley’ Pinot Noir is a terrific entry level effort from this storied family winery. On the nose this shows good range from cranberry to cola to suggestions of black tea and peat moss. The palate is very elegant and shows a silky mouthfeel. Black tea, blackberry cobbler and citrus rind with wet stone flavors all collide on the palate. A seriously good wine, enjoy this over the next decade.
