A well of plush red fruit set against a frame of silky tannins and moderate acidity, Rain Dance’s Estate Pinot Noir 2016 has much to offer, mainly, pleasure. Black cherry, macerated strawberries, Madagascar vanilla bean, cola, and warm spices round out the nose. This blend of 44% Dijon Clone 667, 14% Pommard, 14% Wädenswil, 14% Dijon Clone 115 all from the Chehalem Mountains AVA, it finishes with a gliding streak of minerality that emerges quietly at the close. 14.1% ABV | Sample
