Siltstone 2011 Guadalupe Vineyard Pinot Noir (Oregon)

Country: US / Guadalupe Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Siltstone / Oregon

This single-vineyard designate is labeled simply Oregon, but is actually Dundee Hills. Somewhat dilute fruit flavors suggest pomegranate and tart strawberries. Despite 18 months in half new French oak, the wood does not overwhelm the fruit, and the wine actually improves overnight. Give it a good decanting for optimum drinking.
