2013 Winderlea Juliard Vineyard Dundee Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.1% alc., 99 cases, $48. This south sloping parcel is located on Worden Hill Road, one-quarter of a mile from Winderlea. It was planted in the 1980s and 1990s. Own-rooted, old vine Pommard clone. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 20% new. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. A perfume of ripe strawberry, cherry and spice leads to a light to mid weight essence of black cherry and raspberry fruits. Straightforward and simple, with soft tannins and a suave texture. Easy to like, but seems a bit under ripe. Score: 88. Reviewed November 6, 2015
