Elizabeth Chambers 2011 Winemaker’s Cuvée Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Winemaker’s Cuvée
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Elizabeth Chambers / Willamette Valley

An elegant debut for this new Oregon winery, the Winemaker’s Cuvée opens with lovely floral and herbal scents, moving into a detailed, precise and well-configured palate, with pretty raspberry and cherry candy fruit. It’s set in a sturdy frame of acid and tannin, and seems to gain concentration through the long finish.
