Bernard Machado 2012 Reserve Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Bernard Machado / Chehalem Mountains

This new Pinot is quite light in color, and hits the palate with a mix of tart cranberry and bitter herb. In 2012, a fruit-forward vintage, it seems slightly underripe, and thins out quickly.
