title: Elizabeth Chambers 2012 Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: At first this profoundly compelling wine seems rather light, but as it pirouettes on a base of cherry and sassafras, it constantly shifts and sends up shafts of previously undetected flavors. Popcorn, saffron and just the faintest hint of barnyard emerge—suddenly it becomes a full-throttle cherry bomb that can best be described as yummy.
variety: Pinot Noir
