title: Dion 2012 Winemaker's Reserve Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
description: Four clones, aged in 50% new French oak, constitute the heart and soul of this outstanding reserve. Redolent with a fertile mix of moist earth, compost, tobacco and floral highlights, it fills the mouth with a rich and seamless mix of plums, baked cherries and barrel notes. It leaves a tantalizing trail of mocha, toasted hazelnuts and caramel as it winds dreamily through a lingering finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Winemaker's Reserve
