title: Aubichon Cellars 2013 Oregon Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: As with many of Oregon's 2013 Pinots, this is more refined, more austere, more herbal and lower in alcohol than the fruity, forward 2012s. It's a matter of personal preference which is preferable. The fruit here begins in rhubarb and runs to raspberry, with a stop for citrus peel along the way. Spicy highlights of clove and coriander roll into a bright finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Oregon
