1789 Wines 2007 Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: 1789 Wines / Chehalem Mountains

A new effort from winemaker Isabelle Dutartre, who also oversees winemaking at De Ponte Cellars. This first release from her own 1789 label brings the stamp of Chehalem Mountains terroir into crisp focus. The fruit is wild and brambly, the acids sharp, the wine spicy with a peppery cast. Persistent and concentrated, with a hint of Dr. Pepper streaking through it.
