Anam Cara 2012 Nicholas Vineyard Wädenswil Clone Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US / Nicholas Vineyard Wädenswil Clone
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Anam Cara / Chehalem Mountains

This is the second release showcasing this old-school clone. It works well as a stand-alone cuvée, with brawny and broad flavors of plum and black cherry. There’s a whiff of compost and some savory notes also, but it’s mainly the big-boned fruit that shines here.
