Soléna 2015 Domaine Danielle Laurent Pinot Noir

Country: US / Domaine Danielle Laurent
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Soléna / Willamette Valley

A common thread among the 2015 Soléna Pinots is a stiff herbal beet flavor rather than fully ripe berry fruit. This tilts into cranberry and very tart raspberry, but finishes astringent and hard. Give it plenty of decanting (two or three hours) to help it open up.
