Willamette Valley Vineyards 2012 Founders’ Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Founders’ Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Willamette Valley Vineyards / Willamette Valley

Black cherry fruit is encased in dark barrel flavors of smoke, charcoal and espresso. Tart acids tighten up the finish. It’s got plenty of power, but the fruit seems over-matched by the oak, at least at this young stage.
