14.0% alc.. A donation to the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Barrel Auction #2, Lot #53, bottle 58 of 60. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Intoxicating aromas of plump cherry and sous-bois. Exceptionally delicious, sporting well-spiced and very bright red cherry and red raspberry fruit flavors that engage and maintain through a very long finish that offers endless aromatic goodness. Impeccably balanced, with gentle tannins and a silky, caressing demeanor.Still heaven sent when tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle. WOW! Score: 97. Reviewed May 30, 2022
