Blakeslee Vineyard Estate 2020 Delilah's Cuvee Pinot Noir

Blakeslee Vineyard Estate 2020 Delilah's Cuvee Pinot Noir


This Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir first claimed a Gold Medal at the 2022 Savor Northwest Wine Awards competition, then was named Best of Class Pinot Noir in a side-by-side blind tasting of all of the top Pinot Noirs; and finally, it was voted Best Red Wine of 2022 when flighted with all Best of Class red wines. It is an elegant mix of bright red fruit and earth. Aromatically, it's captivating with a potpourri of florals and spice mingling with notes of cherry-leather, cigar box and hints of pine pitch. On the palate, raspberry and cherry mix with a seamless earthy core that alludes to dried florals and herbs, a hint of gunsmoke and orange zest showing on the polished finish.
