2010 Atticus Wine Yamhill-Carlton District Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.6% alc., pH 3.55, TA 0.67, 230
cases, $24. 80% Atticus Vineyard Pommard and 20% Dijon 777. Raised in 20% new French oak barrels for 9
months and after racking and blending, spent an additional 2 months in the same barrels. A majority of the
vessels were oak puncheons.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose offers reserved aromas of
dark berries including strawberries with a hint of stem. Mid weight oak-kissed black cherry core with a hint of
mushroom and edible flower. Balanced tannins with a gentle creaminess to the mouth feel. An elegant,
feminine offering that has appeal. Good.
