Eisold-Smith 2014 Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot Noir (McMinnville)

Country: US / Meredith Mitchell Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Eisold-Smith / McMinnville

This unusual wine, fermented with wild yeasts and using 20% whole bunches, is still pulling all of its diverse components into focus. Grapefruit, citrus, lemon and a saline quality adorn the spare red fruits. The length and persistence are spot on, but this could benefit from another year or two of bottle age before you pop the cork.
