Elizabeth Chambers 2014 Winemaker’s Cuvée Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

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

Tasted alongside the 2013, this is bigger, bolder, fruitier and more powerful, yet a touch less refined. The strawberry and cherry fruit is underscored with a pleasing minerality. The tannins are substantial and in proportion. A hint of chicken stock runs through the finish.
