2013 VIDON Vineyard Estate Mirabelle Clone 115 Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., pH 3.60, TA 0.55, 96 cases, $50, Vinolok glass closure. Eleventh vintage from this block of clone 115. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Generous aromas of Bing cherry, raspberry, and strawberry with an earthy undertone. The ornate cherry and raspberry fruit really pops on the palate. A touch of spice and a sidecar of oak add interest, Very juicy and refreshing, with impeccable balance and a raspberry-fueled finish that is heavenly. I was giddy over this one. Score: 94.
