Patton Valley Pinot noir "Lorna Marie Cuvee" 05

Patton Valley's Lorna Marie Cuvee Pinot noir has aromas of blackberry, freshly plowed earth, graphite and exotic spice. Dark concentrated fruit on the palate, with sllekly elegant tannins on the finish of black cherries and blackberries.

Prior vintage notes:

An appealing, true to the grape, fully realized, multidimensional wine.

NoseScents are true Pinot earthy- definitely a touch of classic Pinot barnyard here

FlavorsYumm! No other way to describe it, this is a very appealing Pinot. There's super intense red and black sweet fruit flavors, with hints of spice and white pepper. Layers of blackberry driven fruit are expansive in the mouth, with tannins quite distinct, adding a dark brooding weight to the wine.

FinishTannins are quite definite, but fine grained, and balanced to the fruit and acidity. The wine definitely kicks up the oak as compared to the Patton Valley Willamette Valley.

Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

From the winery: "Our most aromatic wine to date. You find the usual exotic spice in the nose that is a signature of Patton Valley wines, along with dried flowers, cherries, pipe tobacco and earth. In the mouth the wine is round and rich yet elegant and pretty. Red fruits, cherry and currant, clear the way to a midpalate of spices, earth and sweet oak. The ripe tannins linger into more red fruit on the long finish. A highly refined wine that relies more on finesse and charm than power."
