Violin Wines Pinot Noir Willamette 2021
Willamette Valley
Regular price $27.99
Eola-Amity Hills
Violin
The 9th edition of this wine. Six total vineyards are blended to make this wine which encompasses 96% from the Eola-Amity Hills. Stem inclusion is usually on the lighter side here at around 10% and I'd venture to guess that was the same here, probably south of 10%. The wines tend to see 12-14 months of french oak, with about 10-15% new.
My tasting note:
A deep ruby core with lighter ruby edges. The aromas and flavors are med+ with red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, with spice notes like sandalwood, and baking spices. This is a really fine version of this wine and is hard to beat at this price. The palate is medium-bodied, juicy and fresh, with med+ flavor intensity, this finishes with the red fruit and spice trailing on.
