2008 Stevenson-Barrie Temperance Hill Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., $32.
·
Marked
reduction with aromas of sulfur, burned wood, and flint. Black cherry flavor backed by firm tannins and a
significant oak underpinning, showing a sulfur hangover on the finish. Re-tasted the next day from a previously
opened and re-corked bottle, the wine was unchanged and still significantly reduced.
