Cloudline Pinot Noir (75cl, 13.5%)

Cloudline Pinot Noir is a 100% Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Véronique Boss-Drouhin, of Burgundy's Drouhin family, acts as consulting winemaker and reference palate, bringing a Burgundian approach to balance, acidity and restrained extraction. Fruit comes from low-yield vineyards across the valley, with about 25% from Roserock Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. The wine shows a lustrous garnet colour. On the nose there are fresh red cherry, ripe plum, warm spice, floral lift, vanilla and earthy minerality. The palate brings red cherry, cranberry, red currant, raspberry and baking spice, with soft, well-integrated tannins. The finish is medium, with red fruit, licorice and mineral notes.
