2017 Lumos North Wren Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 96 cases, $48. Pommard clone. 1/3 whole cluster fermentation (layer cake methods with clusters in the center), natural yeast fermentation, primarily pump-overs with minimal punch-downs, aged 15 months in French oak barrels. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. This wine leads with the most seductive Pinot aromas of black cherry, cinnamon spice, sage and damp earth. Mid-weight in style, with engaging flavors of black cherry, dried herbs and vanilla. Completely satisfying, with a silky texture, minimal tannins and a cherry-fueled finish. Better than mother’s milk. Score: 94. Reviewed October 4, 2020
