Note di degustazione
The red tones of cherry and rhubarb here bring together cooked fruits with their perfumed blossoms and a ferrous reductive element through both the nose and palate. The palate has a bit more tension and a sense of palate density compared with the broader Worden Hill cuvée. There is more textured presence, and a tauter frame with more overall tension and a longer finish compared with the Worden Hill wine, though not as long as those of the Eola-Amity Hills. (ECB)

Deep garnet. Powerful, mineral-laced red berry, cherry and floral oil aromas are complicated by suggestions of exotic spices, incense and succulent herbs. Stains the palate with energetic raspberry preserve, cherry cola, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that become sweeter and deeper through the midpalate. Shows superb energy, fine definition and solid mineral thrust on the extremely long finish, which is framed by fine-grained, slow-building tannins.
The 2017 Pinot Noir Worden Hill—The Black Walnut has a medium ruby color and opens with reductive notions of tar and struck flint over loam, blackberries and black cherries with underbrush and iodine notions. The palate offers much more at this youthful stage, with good concentration and earthy character. It has a firm, ripe frame and wonderful freshness, finishing long. Give this more time in bottle—there is potential for this wine to be better, if that reductive character resolves. 205 cases were made.
