title: Willamette Valley Vineyards 2009 South Block Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: Tart cranberry/raspberry flavors, found in many of these young Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinots, rule the palate here as well. Relatively high acidity and a restrained barrel regimen keep the oak flavors in check, but the tannins carry more than enough weight and grip for overall balance.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: South Block
