Pinot Noir Stermer Vineyard 2008
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
www.lemelsonvineyards.com
100% pinot noir
The style of wines produced from Stermer Vineyard, across the street from the winery, continue to evolve as the vine's roots explore deeper into the soils. The nose is fragrant and floral with potpourri spice, dried rose, dusty herbs, black cherry, plum and citrus zest. The palate is bright and light on its feet, combining sour cherry, citrus and lots of pretty spice. The finish is already elegant with very nice balance and a long, juicy finish.
