2016 Beacon Hill Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., 140 cases, $28, screw cap.
A blend of grapes from estate owned, LIVE certified, La Colina and Beacon Hill vineyards.
Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% new.
·
Moderately dark garnet color in the
glass. Inviting aromas of dark pie cherries, burnt tobacco and seasoned oak. Mid weight
plus in extraction with mouth-filling ripe black fruits accented with a hint of smoky oak.
Hearty for an Oregon Pinot Noir, but nicely balanced and welcoming.
Score: 90.
