2014 Brittan Vineyards Gestalt Block McMinnville Oregon Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., 370 cases, $60. Clones 777, 667 and 115. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Aromas of beef, underbrush, and fresh Marionberry jam. A mid weight plus style, with an array of purple and black fruit flavors, supported by prominent fine-grain tannins and a welcome lift of acidity. The oak is well integrated, the texture is velvety, and the finish is remarkable for its persistence. Score: 92. Reviewed August 27, 2017
