2013 Ken Wright Abbott Claim Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

12.5% alc., $50. Vineyard owners Antony and Angela Beck and vineyard manager Mark Gould. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Shy initially, but explodes with time in the glass, strutting hi-tone aromas ob cherry, baking spice, rose petal and a hint of smoke. A cherry-driven wine with a hint of raspberry and spice, lively on the palate and really hanging on to the finish. This wine is crisp, juicy and has enough structure to age. Score: 92.
