Benton Lane Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon
750ml
Benton-Lane’s Willamette Valley estate vineyard experienced another fine, warm year in 2015. Biodynamically-farmed grapes ripened fully with a profile leaning toward black fruit over red fruit. Fermentation took place in small open-top fermentors and larger stainless steel tanks. The smaller vessels were punched down by hand to extract colour and flavour from the skins. The larger tanks were subject to a gentle technique called “pneumatage”: large air bubbles are introduced to the tank. This vintage shows a fine synergy, with all components married well. The wine is rich and deep, with flavours of boysenberry, cassis, and white pepper. The finish carries the sweet note of toasted oak from fine French oak barrels. Some wines are undeniably well-balanced: this Pinot certainly is.
