The 2013 Pinot Noir Bryan Creek Vineyard, which saw 31% new oak, has a satisfying bouquet of blackberry, briary and raspberry preserve all well-defined and nicely focused. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity, fine tannin and plenty of bright red cherry, blackcurrant and allspice notes. This feels harmonious and poised in the mouth, plus it has greater length than other releases from the estate this year. This is excellent and should give a decade's worth of pleasure, possibly more.

Bright and tangy, with juicy cherry and lime flavors picking up floral nuances as the finish dances. Has presence, with green olive notes adding to the mix. Drink now through 2020. 488 cases made.??–HS??Region: Oregon / Willamette Valley / Chehalem Mountains Select to Add
