(Erath Estate Selection Pinot Noir Willamette Valley) A lightly aromatic wine with vanilla, cherry, strawberry, and spices. The palate is elegant in style showing a classic fruit and barrel style with spice and vanilla notes that linger on the finish. A lot of good things going on here with the wood just a bit out of proportion to the fruit that’s in the bottle. 100% Pinot Noir. Aged 12 months in French oak (40% new). 12.5% alcohol. 1,743 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
