2010 Beckham Estate Vineyard Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir
13.3% alc., 275 cases, $32. Released April 2012. Yields
2.5 lbs per vine. 100% de-stemmed, whole berry fermented, aged 11
months in 35% new French oak barrels.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple
color in the glass. Very enticing aromas of fresh pie cherries,
red plums and baking spices. Discreetly concentrated flavors of red
cherries and berries with a hint of baking spice, offering hi-tone acidity
and mild tannins, leaving a memorable fruit-filled impression on the finish.
Lighter weighted than the 2009 bottling but offering more transparency, finesse
and charm. Very good (+).
