2014 VIDON Vineyard Hans Pommard Clone Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., pH 3.67, TA 0.55, 148 cases, $50. Released November 2016. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Deep aromas of cherry, rose petal and underbrush. In the mouth, the attack of purple grape and berry flavors are lifted and lively and framed by caressing tannins. The finish is extremely long and the wine seems to slip off the back of the palate like silk. Unchanged when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 92.
