Belle Pente
Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir



Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again.
(Notes this year were avoided, but scores are honest.)

Belle Pente (bell-pont') means "beautiful slope" - for their 70 acre hillside vineyard & winery site in Willamette Valley. Bright Ruby red with aromas of red fruits, herb spices and hints of blossom notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors, slight sweet undertones, herb notes and smooth tannins. Well balanced on a long finish ending with mineral herb notes. Nice!! Great value.

Very bright. For the price, very solid. Might benefit from more time in bottle

I’ve loved everything I’ve had from these guys previously but this seems a little one dimensional and not as big and bight as the 2012 and 2009s I’ve had
