2012 Meristem Meredith Mitchell Vineyard McMinnville Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $45. · Dark reddish purple color in the glass. Demure aromas of raspberry, spice and oak. Full-bodied, velvety flavors of blackberry and black raspberry that fill the mouth with sweetness and sappiness, ending with a flourish of chewy, very ripe opulence. Syrah in size and character. Score: 87. Reviewed July 6, 2014
