2012 Formaglini Vineyards La Quercia Block Chehalem Mountains Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

12.5% alc., 100 cases, $42. Aged in 50% new French oak barrels. · Moderately deep Bing cherry color in the glass. This medium weight wine has plenty of concentration to satisfy, with both a fruity (black raspberry, boysenberry) and savory (herbs, bramble) component. The nose draw you in with bright aromas of dark berry compote, forest floor and spicy herbs. The wine is elegant, with a silky texture, supple tannins, and enough juicy acidity to make you want to take another sip. It holds up nicely over time in the glass, and finishes with good exuberance.
