Colene Clemens Vineyards, Estate Grown Victoria, Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2011

“The 2011 Pinot Noir Estate Grown Victoria perhaps does not quite possess the same joie-de-vivre and delineation as the 2011 Adriane at the moment – red cherry mixed with blueberry, sage and clove. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp and tensile with impressive salinity, a pinch of black pepper towards the finish. A slightly more masculine and structured Pinot Noir from winemaker Steve Goff, it should drink well for 10-12 years.”-91WA, 2017-2028
