2017 Big Table Farm Pelos Sandberg Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 241 cases, $62. Released March 4, 2019. Unfined and unfiltered. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with aromas of black cherry, fertile earth, dried herbs and pipe smoke. Filled with succulent cherry and berry fruits and accented with a note of creosote and tobacco typical of this vineyard. Currently, the lavish tannins show up as some astringency on the finish. An intriguing wine with an extended finish. Unchanged when sampled from a previously opened bottle the following day. Score: 92. Reviewed July 8, 2019
