King Estate 2011 Backbone Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Backbone
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: King Estate / Willamette Valley

Fragrant and soft, this sends up a chocolaty mix of strawberry and raspberry fruit scents and flavors. It’s a barrel selection from a variety of vineyards, and is young enough to show a stiff, somewhat herbal edge to the tannins. Give it an hour or two in a decanter for best drinking.
