2012 Evehsam Wood Illahe Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., $27. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Shy aromas of dark berry jam and wine cave. A ripe profile of blackberry, black currant and plum fruits backed by firm, structured tannins. Noticeable grab and hold finishing intensity. Very true to the character of this vineyard that features darker fruits, substantial tannins and more finishing power. Cellaring should mollify the tannins. A hint of alcohol heat shows up on the finish. Score: 90. Reviewed December 11, 2014
