Cherry Hill 2006 Papillon Estate Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Cherry Hill / Papillon Estate

Spicy and tannic, this inexpensive Pinot from Cherry Hill opens with earthy fruit and leaf flavors—tomato and herb dominate, with just a suggestion of berry. There isn’t much in the way of ripeness here, to either fruit or tannins.
