Illahe
Bon Sauvage Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Gorgeous, fruit forward nose. Drinking at cellar temp, the wine shows great definition. Light to medium body, moderate acid, moderate to low tannins. Cherry, strawberry, lemon, a bit of stem.

Nov 27th, 2017Tanic and flavorful. Like a rich, red meat sauce. Reminds me of the vadalia, bacon, mushroom mixture in a wine. Would be good with grilled, buttered and salted corn.

Slight hints of deep fruit on the nose, full mouth of grape riddled forest floor, some spice transitions to a delicate finish.... nice

Well balanced black tea, orange peel and graphite riding on smooth berries. This shows a bit of the heavy acid that the 2013 vintage suffers from, but this is a nice wine that would benefit from a little time in the bottle. In another year or two, this will be a rustic joy!

A beautiful wine with great complexity and layering. A great nose as soon as you open the bottle rounds to a strong finish with smokiness and spice completing the journey.
