2013 Amalie Robert Pommard Clone Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir

13.2% alc., 45 cases, $65. A two barrel selection of the most compelling barrels of Pommard clone Pinot Noir in the cellar. A blend from a new and neutral barrel. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Aromas of BBQ spice, toasty oak, tobacco and mulch. Mid weight flavors of black cherry, marionberry, cola, smoke and char. Satiny in texture, with balanced t ‘n a and some length on the finish. Reminds of standing next to a barbecue grill and smelling meat spices, smoke and ash. Score: 87. Reviewed June 25, 2017
