2013 Evesham Wood "Le Puits Sec" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

Brilliant red. Fresh red berry and cherry aromas are complicated by suggestions of sassafras and candied rose, with a bright minerally element adding vivacity. Spicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and redcurrant flavors that take a sweeter turn with aeration. The mineral note repeats emphatically on the long, focused finish, with smooth tannins providing structural support. (JR)
