This 2016 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir offers an expressive aroma pro?le characterized by expressive red fruits interwoven with classic Willamette Valley earth tones – notes of strawberry, raspberry, forest ?oor, black tea and a hint of blood orange.

Critical Acclaim
Willakenzie's new estate-focused blend, the 2016 Estate Pinot Noir is pale ruby-purple in color with a lovely spicy nose of red licorice, dried rose petals and potpourri over a core of bright red fruits—raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb and red cherry with cinnamon stick accents. Light to medium-bodied, it features bright red fruits framed with oodles of savory/spicy notes in the mouth. It has firm, grainy tannins and wonderful juicy acidity, finishing long with spicy layers. This will show best after a couple of years in bottle. 3,000 cases produced. Rating: 92+
