Hyland Estates
McMinnville Pinot Noir
McMinnville, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
This Pinot is the ultimate testament to the '11 vintage & why it was one of my favorite years on record here in the Willamette Valley. Nose of black cherry, blueberry and intense white pepper highlighted by earth. Gorgeous acidity dances on the palate while rounding out the mix of red and black fruits. Super fine tannins on the finish are well integrated with its vibrant acidity. Finish is light and elegant, like a Pinot should be. Bliss.

This wine showed beautifully in a crowd of mostly 2012's. The purity was very striking, loved the spice content, piercing but very charming.

2011 was a cool year and this wine reflects that in its smooth nature.
