Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Raptor Ridge / Willamette Valley
A bit of a disappointment, given the excellence of the winery’s 2010 vineyard designates. Tart cranberry fruit carries a whiff of saddle leather, and finishes with a fair amount of leafy herbal notes. It’s sealed with screwcap, so decanting it would be a good idea if you plan to drink it soon.
