2018 White Rose Estate White Rose Vineyard Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

12.9% alc., pH 3.69, 350 cases, $125. 100% whole cluster fermentation. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, 10% new. · A terrific whole cluster-inspired nose offers soaring aromas of exotic spice, cherry, burnt tobacco, and sweet pipe smoke. Gorgeous in the mouth, with a prominent whole cluster spice character. Mid-weight flavors of red cherry and ripe strawberry clothed in gracious tannins. Over time in the glass the whole cluster character becomes more integrated and the wine reaches new heights of enjoyment. I like this wine for its uniqueness among Oregon Pinot Noirs, offering a singular style that I can really embrace. Score: 97. Reviewed May 30, 2022
