Lundeen 2012 Articulate Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Articulate
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Lundeen / Willamette Valley

This is very crisply defined, with sculpted fruit flavors of cranberry and raspberry. The wine was aged for 15 months in once-filled barrels, which still add a touch of toast to the flavors. The acids are proportionate and immersive, meaning that they do not intrude, but they support the overall structure beautifully.
