2014 Native Flora Jaguar Reserve Estate Dundee Hills Oregon Pinot Noir

200 cases, not released. Aged in 12.5% new French oak barrels. · Light reddish purple color in the glass. Soaring aromas of crushed cherries, baking spices and sandalwood lead off. A remarkable attack and everexpanding array of red fruits is slightly overshadowed currently by an overlay of oak that should integrate with more time in bottle. The finish is robust and memorable.
