Perfectly aged and well-integrated at 10 years young, you seriously can’t beat a 93 point, thoughtfully made Oregon Pinot Noir for nearly 60% off!
This is ready to drink now, and with the inky black rose label and brooding blue and black fruits laced with dried flowers on the palate – dare I say this is the perfect spooky season wine for all of October and into the holidays beyond (I would totally have this on my Thanksgiving table). On the nose, you’ll whiff tantalizing scents of menthol, with blueberry and plum, some floral tones of violets and hibiscus, culminating with worn leather and earthy damp soil. The palate continues with a medley of dried flowers, plus juicy black cherries, black tea, earth, and a smattering of herbs. It’s precise yet smooth, with a dramatic and expansive finish.
