2021 Winderlea "Winderlea Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Broad and energized, this wine sends flavors of mulled rhubarb, strawberry jam, red peony and cherries jubilee swirling from the glass. Huckleberry and lightly toasted pine nut comes through with herbaceous notes of tarragon and fennel on its heels. The palate has weight yet is backed by a nervy acidity, leading to an elongated finish.
