2013 Luminous Hills Estate Grown LUX Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

12.7% alc., pH 3.58, TA 0.62, 147 cases, $42. Select lots of Pommard and 777. Aged in 100% French oak barrels, 33% new. · Light cherry red color in the glass. Bright aromas of red cherry, brown spice and sandalwood. Similar to Astra, but with a little more fruit intensity and spice pleasure. Nicely balanced, with flavors of black cherry, cranberry and root beer framed by a vigorous tannic backbone and a brisk cut of acidity. Still very enjoyable the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 91. Reviewed September 3, 2015
