For a 7-year old Oregon Pinot, there are a couple of unusual things here. First, zero sediment. Second, the wine still seems quite tightly-knit and youthful. But it’s quite nice. Nose is spot-on sous-bois and dark cherry, sweet baking spice, and a rooty cola note. Seems youthful in the mouth, with nice concentration and rocking acids. On the leaner but linear side, but with a lengthy finish that sports a slight bitter note at the end. Was great with Chicken Dijon.

A small, family-owned winery, owned by Antony Beck a native South African wine producer who began Angela Estate in 2006. Antony created the winery as a celebration of his wife, Angela and their five children. Made with estate fruit, aromas of fruit, floral & spice. Juice flavors of raspberry and strawberry with licorice and spicy pepper notes. Fine tannins on lingering finish ending with bits of cacao. Give this a few more in the cellar.

Feb 12th, 2018Great Pinot, not huge like Sonoma Coast Pinot put a little more fruit than great Burgundy. Great Spice, Pinot body, light red fruit, some earth. I think this is a fantastic wine, still true to the varietal style with Oregon twist. Top Notch

Dec 2nd, 2017Nose of classical dark, moody grape.
Twigs and branches blackberry bramble Woody bits and all. High acidity - for the age amazing. I cannot imagine how acidic this wine was when it was released, because of how beautifully it is drinking now. A touch of bitterness on the back, the tiniest flaw.

Floral cherry blossoms and tart cranberry. Firm chewy tannins.

Balance, depth, complexity. These are good qualities for those who don't know.

Dec 28th, 2015Black cherry, raspberry, currant, dusty leather, oak and hints of dried herbs. Good acidity and well-integrated tannins.
