2013 Evesham Wood La Grive Bleue Eola-Amity Hills Oregon Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., 150 cases, $28. This wine pays homage to the Western Bluebird, the preservation of whose habitat was a prime motivation to farm the vineyard organically. Sourced from a 2-acre block on the estate vineyard. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Lovely aromas of cherry, blueberry, woodfern and Asian 5 spice. Light to mid weight attack of vivacious cherry fruit, persisting through an intense maraschino cherry fueled and slightly tart finish of good length. Bright and juicy, with supple tannins and the faintest oak in the background. Score: 90. Reviewed January 17, 2016
