2017 Duck Pond Cellars South Salem Hills Cuvee' Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir offers a soft fruit character on the nose with accents of earth and oak. The fruit is slightly reserved, yet generous in the glass with complexity and layers of compact red fruit that finds harmony with the oak influence of vanilla, cedar, and coriander. On the palate this Pinot Noir shows tension and power. There is a structured acidity and tannin that comes from our Willamette Valley sites. The fruit flavors consist of fresh red cherry, red raspberry, and tart cranberry with wood spice providing balance and accenting the fruit profile with power and intensity.
