Jan 19th, 2017Light ruby with thin amber rim. Nose is a bit shy but with time reveals strawberry, tea, and damp firewood as well as hints of cedar, sage, and baking spices. On the palate, it's light bodied with brambly red fruit, balanced acidity, nice tannic grip, 13.2% alcohol, and a long, lightly spicy finish. Though labeled generally as Willamette Valley, the fruit is sourced from Domaine Serene's Jerusalem Hill estate vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA and aged 17 months in 62% new French oak. $90.
