David Paige Pinot Noir 2021, Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley

The 2021 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills blossoms in the glass with echoes of violet, lavender and mint, giving way to crushed blackberries. This is a cool-toned and sleek with masses of ripe wild berry fruit completed by hints of citrus and a sweet herbal thrust toward the close. It finishes long and staining with a lingering concentration. Gentle tannins frame the experience without slowing its momentum.
