Revisiting vintage, last bottle, Oregon-based winemaker, wine from his “offseason” making wines in New Zealand
Jan 27th, 2020Purple-red, light to moderately extracted pigment, good clarity. Funk, raspberry and white pepper notes in nose. Blueberry, blackberry, some cola, plus umami and a touch of saline flavors. Light medium-weight tannins in finish. Tannins soften fairly rapidly, 30 minutes. An interesting variation from his Oregon pinots, but solid in its own right.
