2014 Owen Roe The Kilmore Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., $39. Pommard, Wädenswil and Dijon clones. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Aromas of huckleberry, grape, sandy soil, and green olive. A bold and assertive wine attacking with rich dark berry flavor that lingers on the finish. A bit awkward, with muscular tannins that stick out. Caliesque in style. Not as appealing as previous vintages that I have recommended, but may come together with more time in bottle. Score: 87-88. Reviewed December 12, 2015
