Elevee Vineyard Pinot Noir Dundee Hills OR 2017

The Willamette Valley in Oregon is produces arguably America's finest Pinot. The cool-climate is Pinot heaven - expect wines delivering a perfect sweet-spot between the tannic and acidity of Burgundy and the lush ripe fruit styles common in California. This single-vienyard bottling from the Dundee Hills AVA (so good a bunch of BIG french names have snapped up land here) is a perfect introduction. This 93pt rated bottle has a retail of $70 so what more reason do you need to discover Oregon Pinot? 

Tasting Notes: Reveals raspberries, violets, sweet tobacco, black tea, and powdered perfume, with hints of baking spices over a mineral core. Medium-bodied with lively acidity, broad silky tannins, and a long, lingering finish of raspberries and delicate florals.
