La Combe Verte Pinot Noir

if I have to drink American Pinot this one would be a good suitor.

Hypes real. Starts off with a beautiful amount of fresh fruit and then moves into a more austere, mineral laced finish. One of the best values in Oregon right now, but good luck finding a bottle here in CO.

Black Cherry and baking spice on the nose as well as oak and something kinda green like dill. Medium body with the kind of acidity that keeps your mouth watering for another sip. Very primary all around, but with enough nuance and depth to keep it from being just ripe red fruit.

Very good - earthy nose and a little funk

Violets, boysenberry and pomegranate goodness. Ripe as a result of hot vintage but not excessively jammy. I guess we should expect a lot more '15 type vintages than '11s going forward...

Cherries and pomegranate resting in a pile of sage and bay leaves on the forest floor. Also acid. The sun is shining.

Repeat enjoyment

On the delicate side, beautiful nose, great light ruby color, bright fruit, so fun! Thanks @Cured - Will And Coral Frischkorn and #walterscott
