2012 Privé Vineyard le sud Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

13.8% alc.. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Appealing scents of black cherry, bittersweet dark chocolate, coal and underbrush. A delicious bombastic wine with great balance between richness of flavor and energetic verve, offering mid weight plus flavors of black cherry and boysenberry. So luscious, so satiny, so dreamy. This wine has the tannin structure to easily be a 15-year wine. Drink now to 2027. Score: 96. Reviewed September 3, 2017
