title: Oak Knoll 2008 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: This opens with a clean evocation of Pinot Noir aromas—delicate, almost ethereal, like a wisp of cherry and caramel and moist earth. It turns a bit hard and acidic in the mouth, suggestion that further cellaring is in order. The pieces are here to make a wine with genuine ageability.
variety: Pinot Noir
