Willamette Valley Vineyards 'South Black Estate' Pinot Noir, Oregon, USA

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1520

Tart cranberry/raspberry flavors, found in many of these young Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinots, rule the palate here as well. Relatively high acidity and a restrained barrel regimen keep the oak flavors in check, but the tannins carry more than enough weight and grip for overall balance.——P.G.(3/1/2012)—— 89

Pretty and complex, this delivers a melange of interesting flavors. Round, tart fruits—berries and sour plum— mingle with dried leaves, cut tobacco and mushroom. Somehow a citrus streak sneaks into the finish, giving the wine a lemony lift. Delicious already, it can be cellared for another 5–6 years. ——P.G.(3/1/2011)—— 92
