Beaux Freres Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThe Willamette Valley cuvée is a blend of sites across the northern Willamette, coming from the sustainably farmed Gran Moraine, Zena Crown, Beaux Frères, Archery Summit, Hyland, Noren, Upper Terrace and Guadalupe vineyards. A low use of new oak, and bottling without fining or filtering, were choices to show the clearest view of the region. Dried and fresh cherries, raspberries, wild blackberries, dried florals fill the savoury, lush and elegant palate, housed by a fine grip of dark cocoa tannins. Luring spices linger on the finish. A sweet warmth on the finish reminds us that we're in the new world. Drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 20 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
