2015 Siduri Zena Crown Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Oregon Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., 219 cases, $70, screwcap. Release October 2017. Inaugural release from this vineyard. Both block and barrel selection. · Moderately light ruby red color in the glass. Deep, dark fruit aromas including black cherry and blackberry with a hint of freshly turned earth and a bit of floral delight. Velvety in the mouth, with an intensely fruited core of sweet purple and black fruits that are expansive in the mouth and through the finish. There is a subtle petrol note and some astringent tannins on the finish that should ameliorate with more time in bottle. Score: 92. Reviewed September 24, 2017
