Clay Hill - De Ponte Cellars – 2014 pinot Noir
Willamette Valley
The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of black cherry and slight notes of cassis, blackberry associated with discreet hints of violet and licorice. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers minerality, freshness as well as a beautiful juiciness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy black cherry, juicy cassis and touches of blackberry associated with subtle hints of redcurrant jam (in the background), minerality as well as subtle toasted touches and chocolate. Tannins are supple. Good length.
