The 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley has alluring notes of cedar

Acting like a little brother to their Syrah In the Hills bottling

with the wood playing a prominent role

I see quite ripe fruit here

Domaine Parent, Beaune Les Epenottes other_regions_australia The 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette(from two parcels of vines one of 60+ year old vines and the other from 30+ year old vines). Touches of wood toast and earth frame the bright essence of red pinot fruit. The succulent, round and easy going flavors are at once delicious and refreshing before concluding in a slightly toasty and sneaky long finish. This too should drink well on the earlier side if thats your preference. (87 90) 2022+
