LaVelle Vineyards 2016 Matthew's Reserve Pinot Noir

LaVelle Vineyards 2016 Matthew's Reserve Pinot Noir


This wine from Willamette Valley's LaVelle Vineyards spent two years in oak barrels to reach a bold mix of fruit and spice. It entices you with forward aromas of Allspice that wrap around rich red fruits and hints of pine pitch and dried herbs. On the palate, flavors of cherry and tart red berries mix with notes of cocoa before nicely structured tannins deliver a spicy dry finish with a hints of cinnamon-candied orange peel.
