2014 VIDON Vineyard Estate 3 Clones Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., pH 3.67, TA 0.55, 710 cases, $40, Vinolok glass closure. Release September 2016. Twelfth vintage from this block. A blend of the three clones in the VIDON Vineyard. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Fruity aromas of black cherry and black currant lead off, infused with savory aromas of spice, fig and oak. Very ripe but not over ripe flavors of black cherry and black raspberry along with a thread of herbs. The fruit is vivid and fresh in quality, the texture is silky, and the cherry and raspberry infused finish really satisfies. Score: 91. Reviewed August 29, 2016
