Benton-Lane 2011 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Estate Grown
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Benton-Lane / Willamette Valley

Tart and earthy, this unusual Pinot does not lack for flavor interest. Cranberry fruit, sharp acidity, a streak of cola, a hint of wintergreen and a slight bitterness to the finish keep the palate on its toes (if such is possible).
