2014 Vino Vasai Dario Estate Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

13.2% alc., $25. From a 3-acre vineyard planted in 2001 in Jory and Laurelwood soils. Aged on the lees in neutral French oak barrels. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Pleasant aromas of black cherry and underbrush. Fresh and easy to like in an elegant, mid weight styled wine with flavors of black cherry, peppery spice, dried herbs and a hint of smoke. Nicely balanced, with evident but polished tannins, finishing on an upbeat note. Score: 89. Reviewed December 13, 2016
