WillaKenzie Estate 2012 Aliette Pinot Noir

Country: US / Aliette
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: WillaKenzie Estate / Willamette Valley

This selection is from the winery’s first planted vineyard, now nearing 20 years of age. It’s all Pommard clone, offering a burst of pretty cherry fruit backed with stiff tannins and a streak of iron. Still showing some sharp edges, it’s just out of 15 months in 50% new oak, and will benefit from aerating or further bottle age.
