Evening Land Pinot Noir 2011

The 2011 growing season in Oregon has been called a 'miracle vintage' since the forecast in autumn called for solid rain, yet sunny conditions stretched throughout September and October and allowed for the longest ripening times in the region's history. Canadian-born winemaker Isabelle Meunier has created an elegant Pinot with deep plum and berry fruit showing the character of the vintage nicely, en route to a smoky finish. Enjoy with grilled bacon-wrapped beef medallions. (VINTAGES panel, Jan. 2013)
