Soléna Pinot Noir Willakia Vineyard (2006)
Soléna Estate
Pinot Noir
Eola-Amity Hills AVA, OR
Appearance: Clear, cranberry red, medium intensitySimilar to the Vista Hills Pinot, this is another single vineyard wine with just under 100 cases produced. Select harvest which is tightly controlled makes a big difference from larger generalized selection. A strong vintage in 2006 there's a ton of bold fruit showing in the glass. The wine specs indicate that cold maceration is responsible for the intense cranberry color.
Nose: Clean, candied red fruit, soft cherry and ripe strawberry, light smokiness
Palate: Dry, medium tannins that are round but lingering, medium acidity, fruity, red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, cherry, licorice, soft spice, medium to long finish
Cheers!
