title: Benton-Lane 1998 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: At first the aroma is sharp, even clumsy, showing herbs, peanuts and even bacon fat. The fruit is in the big-plum range. A heavy dose of oak has been thrown at this wine, so it’s buttery on the palate and coffee-tinged on the finish.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Reserve
