Willamette Valley Vineyards 2012 Hannah Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Hannah
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Willamette Valley Vineyards / Willamette Valley

Hannah is a particular block from the winery’s Tualatin Estate. In 2012 it ripened to considerably higher Brix than the previous year, yielding a full 2% higher alcohol. Still the impression is of wood, earth, stem and hard red fruits that need further softening. The finish turns a bit chalky.
