2008 Plowbuster Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $21.
Second label from Carabella Vineyard, a 49-acre site on the
southeastern side of Parrett Mountain in the Chehalem Mountains
AVA. Winemaker Mike Hallock makes wines exclusively from
Carabella Vineyard fruit. 27 acres are planted to five Pinot Noir
clones in Nekia and Jory soils. The name, Plowbuster, gets its name
from the dry farming method Hallock and his team use.
·
Moderately light
reddish-purple color in the glass. Nicely composed aromatic profile of slightly
confected cherries and strawberries with notes of spice and savory oak. Tasty
cherry core with a comforting soft texture and gossamer tannins. This wine
exudes finesse and charm. High quaff-ability quotient. Still drinking fine the
next day from a previous opened and re-corked bottle. Good (+).
