Joel Gott Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2018- 750ML OM387866516

The Joel Gott 2016 Oregon, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has aromas of cranberry, red raspberry, Bing cherries and cola with notes of sandalwood. On the palate, bright red fruit flavors and acidity lead to soft, velvety tannins on the mid-palate and a long, elegant finish.Vineyard NotesWe sourced the fruit for this wine from the Eola-Amity Hills and Yamhill-Carlton appellations within Oregons Willamette Valley, where ideal growing conditions similar to those of Burgundy, Franceproduce world-class Pinot Noir. Fruit from the Eola-Amity Hills appellation adds great color, concentration and tannin structure to the wine. The regions cool climate stresses the vines, creating smaller, more concentrated fruit clusters that yield more complex, flavorful wines. Hillside vineyards planted in the Yamhill-Carlton appellation are on Willakenzie soil, an ancient soil type found only in this area that drains well, allowing for longer hang time and better flavor development.
