2015 Evesham Wood Illahe Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

$30. One of the few vineyards that Evesham Wood works with that is planted on marine sedimentary soil (Willakenzie). Typically more feral and forested than fruited. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Aromas of red grape, black cherry, fresh mulch and potpourri lead off. Incredibly fresh and perfectly ripened darker cherry and raspberry fruits are offered in a mid weight style with impeccable balance. Noticeably earthy in character with slightly grippy tannins. Quite extroverted at this early stage. Score: 93. Reviewed February 21, 2018
