2014 VIDON Vineyard Mirabelle Clone 115 Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., pH 3.67, TA 0.55, 100 cases, $50. Released November 2016. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Complex nose featuring aromas of briery raspberry, black cherry, hazelnut paste and oak spice. Exuberant blueberry, boysenberry and black raspberry flavors are underlain with a savory herbal thread in a middleweight styled wine with enmeshed tannins and a compliment of nutty oak.
