Youngberg Hill Vineyards 2013 Cuvée Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Cuvée
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Youngberg Hill Vineyards / Willamette Valley

This is chewy and tannic, with sharp edges around cranberry fruit. It’s blocky and one-dimensional, but solid and substantial. If Pinot Noir can ever be a steak wine, this is it. A touch of anise and coffee winds it down through the finish.
