Primarius Pinot Noir Reserve 2016

Primarius wines embody sheer elegance where delicate flavors give way to full fruit expression; providing the most pleasurable drinking experience for wine lovers. Primarius wines represent Oregon’s finest cool climate regions and are a true reflection of the state’s most famed varietal, Pinot Noir. Latin for ”distinguished,” Primarius promises sophistication in every sip and exceeds expecations in quality, flavor and value.

Aromatics suggest brambly cane berries and Bing cherries accented by some subtle notes of cinnamon and clove. The palate carries these aromas on and compliments them with lively acidity and just a hint of oak sweetness. The mouthfeel is round and pleasant and yields some further depth suggesting Morello cherries and nutmeg. The finish lingers with soft, silky tannins and leaves an aftertaste of sweet red and black fruits and Christmas spice.
