WillaKenzie Estate Emery Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2011

$54.95

The 2011 Pinot Noir Emery comes from a variety of clones and spends 14 months on French oak barrels. The nose here is very attractive with lifted floral red berry fruit, well defined and perfumed, with a Burgundian purity and allure. The palate is medium-bodied, with supple red berry fruit, smooth in the mouth with no rough edges and fine salinity toward the finish. Understated in style perhaps, yet thoughtfully crafted, this is one of the estate's best 2011s. eRobertParker.com 90 Neal Martin

Browning in the glass already... less cherry jolly rancher, more dried cherry. Stemmy nose, satiny palate, toned down acid. Called it CDP blind. More rugged than your usual #willamette #pinotnoir . I like it that way.

In a blind tasting I would hope to get this as an example of Oregon Pinot. Pure bright fruit, enough stuffing and great acid on the long finish. It went well with Cinnamon's miso-roast chicken.

Dark cherry and licorice on the nose. Black pepper and cherry on the palate. Still acidic and could probably lay down for awhile longer.

V11. Beatiful, elegant. Soft smokey bouquet. Round, dry, earthy, black cherry fruit. Simple, and nice.
