Hundred Suns Winery, "Bednarik", Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023

By far, the latest pick for Hundred Suns is rounded notes of roses and violets with savoury streaks of mint and an abiding sense of umami. Dried lavender and mint leaves frame gorgeous red ripe fruits tinged with spice. A sense of black tea provides structure that frames alpine meadow herbs and elegance that frames ripe berries. Own-rooted vines planted in the 1980s. (CP) - Decanter
