Wine of the Week
Audeant Willamette Valley Pinot Noir ’17
“Deep, shimmering magenta. Ripe red and dark berries, candied rose, smoky minerals and baking spices on the deeply perfumed nose. Juicy, subtly sweet and expansive on the palate, the 2017 offers bitter cherry, blackberry and floral pastille flavors that turn spicier as the wine opens up. Closes smoky, juicy, seamless and long, with resonating spiciness and rounded, even tannins contributing subtle grip. 30% whole clusters.”
