2015 Pinot Noir Chehalem Mountains Nuages

Deep vivid red. Ripe red berries, cherry pit, violet and woodsmoke on the pungent nose; mineral and white pepper flourishes add lift and urgency. Silky, sweet and nicely concentrated, offering black raspberry and cherry cola flavors and a touch of succulent herbs. Delivers a solid punch but comes off energetic, even lithe, displaying smooth tannins and a resonating floral note on the persistent finish.
