title: Love & Squalor 2011 Antsy Pants Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: The proprietary name indicates that this is the winemaker's reserve cuvée, a three-barrel selection mixing equal proportions of grapes from the Eola Hills, Dundee Hills and Ribbon Ridge AVAs. It's austere, tight and yet authoritative, showing compact wild berry fruit, Mediterranean herbs and a slight saltiness. It's best to cellar it until 2020, or give it a good long decant.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Antsy Pants
