Country: US / The Stalker
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Roco / Willamette Valley
Not a mere whole-cluster wine, the Stalker is made by drying the stalks separately and adding them to whole berries. It’s slightly chalky as a result, with a green edge to the tannins and green tea flavors. Black cherry, espresso and cacao components also factor in. Give it another couple of years and drink after 2020.
