2010 Matello Souris Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 165 cases, $42. A barrel selection from
Whistling Ridge Vineyard, Durant Vineyard and Bishop Creek Vineyard. Non-irrigated vines.
·
Light reddishpurple
color in the glass. Delicate aromas of cherries and strawberries unfold nicely over time in the glass.
Rather austere and “Burgundian” in style if you will, featuring red fruits with hints of oak, redwood and herbs in
the background. Finishes with mellow red cherry flavor. Elegant, like see-thru red lingerie. Some may find the
wine too tight, light and tart but they may miss the point of this acid-charged wine. Very good.
