2010 iOTA Pelos Sandberg Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
12.9% alc., 402cases, $38. Pommard, Wädenswil, and Dijon 667,
777 from six estate vineyard blocks. Aged 10 months in 47% new French oak
barrels and an additional year of bottle aging before release. Unfined and
unfiltered.
·
Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Intense black
cherry, plum and spice aromas with a hint of toasty, cedary oak. Discreetly
concentrated flavors of smoky black cherry and dark raspberry fruit robed in
balanced, dry tannins, finishing with an infusion of black raspberry jam on toast.
There is a little more oak talking at present than I prefer, but this should integrate
further with another year in bottle. Good.
