Description
Name: Averaen Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot Noir
Country: United States
Region: Willamette Valley
Sub-Region: McMinneville
Producer: Averaen
Size: 750ml
Vintage: 2016
Varietal: Pinot Noir
From the Winery:
"Meredith Mitchell is a truly unique spot, superbly windy as it is exposed to the blustery winds coming through the Van Duzer Corridor. All own-rooted Pommard clone vines planted on Jory (volcanic) and Yamhill (silty clay loam) soils with unusual, for the region, wide spacing and single wire trellis system. South facing aspect at 560 feet elevation.
This certified biodynamic vineyard is where we say, “all the magic happens.” Late, slow ripening, wonderful tannin intensity with unmistakably pronounced blue-black aromatics."
Vinous Review: 92 points
"(20% whole clusters and 50% new French oak) Lurid red. Blackberry and boysenberry aromas are complicated by suggestions of cola and candied violet, and a smoky mineral note lends nervy lift. Incisive dark berry and bitter cherry flavors slowly gain flesh and become sweeter in the midpalate. Impressively precise and energetic, delivering strong finishing thrust and dusty, building tannins that make a late appearance."
