Lachini 2014 Prima Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US / Prima
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Lachini / Chehalem Mountains

This is the winery’s reserve, made just twice previously, in 2010 and 2012. Production is up sharply, and it’s a ripe, round fruit pie of a wine, best enjoyed while still young. Red fruits and citrus are in the mix, with a touch of papaya. It was aged 14 months in French oak, two-thirds of it new.
