Community Tasting Note

Darker/garnet colour.
Bit mute on opening. Darker/savoury profile, mixed with bright sour dark cherry. Really notable savoury note here too. Woody, not in a new-oak-sweetness way, but in a tree-bark way. Confirmed on palate, pleasing bitter woodiness, maybe remininscent of vermouth/aromatised wine/Campari bitters - flashes of Negroni. Medium bodied profile, very savoury, drinkable soulful wine. Woodiness made me question if there was more whole bunch here (website says max. 5% in the blend, from a 100% whole bunch fermentation vinified seperately).
So very different to many Oregon PNs I've tried. Such restrained fruit, but the fruit is there and it's delicious. This isn't a wine to impress, it's a wine to come around to.
