title: Carden 2010 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: At first this is constrained to the point of thinness, then the wine breathes open to reveal tart red berries, dried herbs and lemongrass. A whiff of orange peel adds interest. Though aged 15 months in 60% new French oak, it shows little oak influence in its flavors.
variety: Pinot Noir
