Franchere 2014 Zenith Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)

Country: US / Zenith Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Franchere / Eola-Amity Hills

This is a three-barrel reserve, principally Pommard clone, and vinified with minimal handling. Cherry/berry fruit comes with ample acidity. The alcohol, though just at the high end of moderate, seems to mute some of the details. Notes indicate that no additions were made, but the finish remains a bit chalky.
