Iris Vineyards 2012 Reserve Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Iris Vineyards / Oregon

Oaky, spicy and tannic, this is showing some sharp edges around moderately ripe plum and cherry fruit. It’s solid and substantial, a bit blocky, and currently showing more barrel influence than fruit. All estate fruit, 40% new French oak. Additional bottle age might improve the score.
