2014 VIDON Vineyard Brigita Clone 777 Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., pH 3.67, TA 0.55, 125 cases, $50. Released November 2016. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. · Moderate reddish purple hue in the glass. The nose leads with hi-tone scents of black cherry, dark raspberry, dried herbs and toasty oak. The core of black cherry and blackberry fruits are ripe and ebullient, framed by complimentary oak. Silky in the mouth, with noticeable length and purpose on the finish. More engaging the following day when tasted from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, with a strikingly fruity nose and an appealing savory bent accenting the generous fruit flavors. Score: 91.
