Country: US / Crawford Beck Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Winderlea / Eola-Amity Hills
This delicious bottle sings out with a burst of bright raspberry fruit. As with all the Winderlea designates, the exposure to new oak is fairly minimal—just 10 months in one-sixth new barrels. Juicy acidity keeps flavors buoyant, and the barrels add light notes of caramel and nougat. Drink this with great enjoyment over the next two or three years.
