The 2008 Pinot Noir Justice Vineyard is entirely Dijon clone 777. More expressive aromatically than the preceding wines, it also has greater depth and richness. Smooth textured and filled with savory black cherry and black raspberry flavors, it, too, has enough structure to fill out for another 2-3 years and provide pleasure through 2023.
Mark Vlossak continues to turn out some of Willamette Valley’s finest wines in his new digs in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. He has seemingly always had a way with white wines and the three new releases are no exception.
