IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Apolloni Pinot Noir Estate 2014

Tart and fruity, this mixes strawberry and citrus flavors. There is some indication of stem contact, and the tannins have some grip to them. Drink now through 2020.

The 2014 vintage reflects a wonderful, warm growing season in the Willamette Valley, producing Pinot Noir with well-balanced flavors. Opening with the floral perfume of rose pedals and an undertone of forest floor, the wine is full on the palate. Its bold black cherry, currant and vanilla provide textured layers of flavors and a lingering finish. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, this hand-crafted Pinot pairs well with grilled meats, salmon and vegetables.
