Black Walnut, Dundee Hills AVA, Pinot Noir, 2017

Deep garnet. Powerful, mineral-laced red berry, cherry and floral oil aromas are complicated by suggestions of exotic spices, incense and succulent herbs. Stains the palate with energetic raspberry preserve, cherry cola, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that become sweeter and deeper through the midpalate. Shows superb energy, fine definition and solid mineral thrust on the extremely long finish, which is framed by fine-grained, slow-building tannins.
