13.4% alc., 329 cases, $36. Coats and Whitney Vineyard is a
sustainably farmed, 10-acre site midway between the townships of
Carlton and Yamhill that was established in 2004. There are 7.5
acres planted to Pinot Noir (75% Pommard and 25% Wädenswil).
Soils are quick draining Willakenzie. Second vintage of this wine.
100% de-stemmed, 5 day cold soak, aged in 25% new French oak
barrels.
·
Moderate reddish-purple robe in the glass. Welcoming aromas of black
cherries, strawberry jam, violets and sweet oak. Medium-bodied flavors of
nicely spiced cherries, raspberries and plums with a floral note persisting on the
finish. Very smooth and charming in the mouth with well proportioned tannins and overall impeccable balance.
Very good.
