Raptor Ridge
Atticus Vineyard Pinot Noir
Yamhill-Carlton, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Dark, boysenberry and full bodied which is unusual for an Oregon Pinot, but 2012 was a warm vintage. We bought it for this reason.

Oct 24th, 2016Nice wine. Opened up after an initial offering of plum and tar. Would benefit from longer cellaring.

An earthier, more acid-driven wine than the 2012 Raptor Ridge Winery Black Hole Vineyard Pinot Noir. Vanilla, clove, pepper, raspberries, and dry Jory soil build the bouquet. Unfolds with less spice than the aforementioned wine, but reveals itself with cherries, currants, dried cranberries, and cassis, flowing into blueberries, chanterelle, truffle and oyster mushrooms, and anise. It finishes with medium length if dried basalt, licorice, and Italian plum.
