2022 FRANCHCHERE PINOT NOIR EOLA-AMITY HILLS
This is a delicious young red wine – it's full and succulent, with fresh acidity and fine tannins on a medium long finish. The aromas showcase rich morello cherries, cedar, dusty earth, and vanilla (even though the wine is aged solely in neutral oak). The wine is round in the mouth, with bright cherry fruit and a suave tapered finish. The 2022 provides a lot of pleasure in its youth and I recommend drinking this while you age your 2021 Willamette Valley pinots.
