2014 Kudos Reserve Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., $22. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Darker fruit and earth aromas lead off, followed by a well concentrated core of black cherry and blackberry fruits that have good mid palate intensity and finishing presence. Smooth in the mouth, with balanced tannins and a deft touch of oak in the background. Score: 88. Reviewed August 29, 2016
