2019 Chehalem Mts. Pinot Noir
The Chehalem Mountain bottling from David Paige Wines blends vineyard sites across the northern Willamette AVA. The wine is bright, lean and linear. Floral and herbal aromatics predominate violets, accented by eucalyptus and fresh cranberry. The palate is lithe and angular. Fresh raspberry, red currant and cranberry, with ample elegance and a fine finish. This slightly shy wine should unwind wonderfully over the next few years. -Clive Pursehouse
