Walnut City WineWorks 2014 La Cantera Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US / La Cantera Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Walnut City WineWorks / Chehalem Mountains

This wine’s black cherry fruit, backed by tart acidity and ample tannins, quickly emerges. Cola and brown spice hints reflect its 15 months aging in 15% new French oak, yet it fades on the midpalate as if recently bottled. As with the Carlton Hill bottling, this should benefit from an additional year or two.
