J. Christopher
Lumière Unfiltered Pinot Noir
Eola - Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USAPurple-garnet red, very good clarity, medium extracted pigment. Butter, blueberry, raspberry and cherry cola aromas, soy-umami flavors with berry and cola in mouth. Umami finish with lingering cool fruit. Those lingering yeast cells are integral to this wine. Some astringency and bitterness as well but challenging to characterize. After 60 minutes, resolves into an umami-rich pinot with raspberry, plum and cherry flavors, decent acidity. Give it an hour before drinking in earnest
