Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Reserve Willamette Valley 2010
Medium ruby in color, this wine has a great nose of red and black currant, funky meaty aromas, and a hint of menthol.
In
the mouth the fruit carries on with a wonderful and rich mouthfeel.
The acidity is medium high, bright but not sharp and defining the fruit
very well. The tannins are soft and very well integrated. The finish
is long and fruit flavors mingle with gamey and herbal notes. The real
shocker here is that the ABV% is listed at 12.5%. This does not come
across at all on the palate as one would assume from the richness of the
mouthfeel and intensity of the fruit, that the ABV% would be much
higher.
