Aubichon Cellars 2014 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Aubichon Cellars / Willamette Valley

Though 2014 is a fine, accessible vintage for many Oregon Pinots, this one is rather stubbornly shut down. At first it shows stem and herb flavors, along with chewy tannins. With hours of breathing time, the fruit emerges, a mix of rhubarb, cherry and a dash of cola.
