Coeur de Terre 2007 Renelle’s Block Pinot Noir (McMinnville)

Country: US / Renelle’s Block
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Coeur de Terre / McMinnville

These are the oldest Pinot vines on the property, planted in 1999. A mix of Pommard, Wadenswil and Dijon clones, they create a rather sharp, herbal wine, with earthy tannins and a hint of bitterness. Barrel aging adds some baking chocolate flavors, but additional bottle age is recommended.
