title: Johan 2012 Three Barrel Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: As the name indicates, this limited reserve is a selection of the winemaker's best barrels. It was fermented with 90% whole clusters, and aged 15 months in one-third new French oak. There are ample scents and flavors of stem, leaf and root, which dominate. Give this wine a lot of breathing time or a vigorous decant, which will help to bring the fruit back up.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Three Barrel
