2010 DION Old Vines Limited Release Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., $35. Aged 13 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Surprisingly fresh and alive black cherry, potpourri and rose petal aromas. Earth-toned flavors of black cherry, spice, iron and smoky oak. Good bones for a 11-year-old wine but fruit is beginning to fade as oak surfaces. Still interesting but has seen better days. Score: 90. Reviewed May 30, 2022
