2016 Sequitur Ribbon Ridge Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.6% alc., $100. Unfined and unfiltered. Crafted by veteran winemaker Michael Etzel (Beaux Freres). · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, sous-bois, cedary oak and a subtle dried herb note. Enchanting charge of well-spiced dark cherry, boysenberry and black raspberry fruits envelope the palate with goodness. A firm backbone of tannins is supportive, an arrow of acidity adds vigor and toasty oak contributes complimentary accents. All the flavors come together in an exalted finish of uncommon length. Score: 94. Reviewed July 8, 2019
