Dark, clear ruby. Wildly aromatic nose of violets and black cherries. Medium bodied palate echoes the nose flipping the primaries and adding a hint of vanilla and a smaller hint of tarry anise. Low tannins. Medium plus acidity. McMinnville’s Hyland Vineyard struts its dark floral stuff in this classic Willamette PN. Pair with equally classic fare: ham, pork tenderloin, duck, and of course, Pacific salmon. Drink now through 2029, when it develops into a more savory offering.
