The vibrant ruby color with pink highlights makes this wine attractive from the start. High-toned floral notes yield to coffee, cola, black tea, and baking spices that draw one into the wine where undertones of black cherry, blackberry, and raspberry fruit add depth. The palate has a savory quality in addition to sweet-tart fruit. Moderate body and flesh are built around a core of acidity. The finish is stony, spicy, and long.
Bethel Heights Vineyard, Eola-Amity Hills (Willamette Valley, Oregon) Pinot Noir 2010
