title: Le Cadeau 2015 Équinoxe Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: Slightly liquorous when first opened, this pushes the alcohol up towards a place where some of the nuances are lost. But it has plenty of flavor, power and punch. Black coffee, black cherry, black olive and black licorice are entwined here, with some heat in the follow-through. Give it a good decanting and it will start to smooth out.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Équinoxe
