2012 Harper Voit Bieze Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., 46 cases, $55. Pommard clone and Calera selection on Nekia and Ritner soils · Dark reddish purple color in the glass. Love this nose which is alive the scent of boysenberry, black raspberry, violets, spice, and oak vanillin. Incredible sweet fruit presence in the mouth which carries over to an amazingly intense finish that offers a rainbow of purple fruits. The remarkable finish was still pumping the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. My only nit is a slight sense of alcohol on the finish which keeps it from receiving a Pinot Geek award. Score: 92. Reviewed July 6, 2014 WINERY » ARTICLE »
