Stanton Vineyard 2012 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Stanton Vineyard /

Strawberry and raspberry fruit carry a nice touch of bright spice, notably saffron. Some 30% new French oak was used, and the wine expresses it with highlights of toasted coconut. The wine has medium concentration and length, and will benefit from aggressive aeration.
