The Paul O’Brien Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a standout from a warm, dry vintage that allowed for exceptional concentration. It leads with high-toned aromas of raspberry and pomegranate, accented by dusky spice and rose petal. On the palate, the wine is seamless and well-knit, featuring a silky texture and vibrant acidity. Earthy undertones and "popsicle stick" tannins provide a firm, structural grip, leading to a long finish of spicy plum and black tea.
