title: Patton Valley 2011 Lorna Marie Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: The Lorna Marie is the winery's reserve-level bottling, and gets the most new oak, about 60%. In this vintage, the fruit seems a bit thin, almost watery, although with some hours of breathing it gains some palate traction. It's well made, but don't look for reserve-level heft.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Lorna Marie
