2014 Lemelson Vineyards Pinot Noir Thea's SelectionWillamette Valley more |
3/1/2018 - loubbowen Likes this wine: 89 pointsVery good Pinot good balance and nice notes of ripe dark fruit. Medium bodied with modest tannins did not improve from decanting. Very light sediment. Too weak to pair with food stronger than seafood, best consumed on its own where it would truly shine. Average finish leaves more to be desired. |
