Polished and shimmering in the glass, Emerson Willamette Valley
Pinot Noir is a saturated vermilion color. The aromas from this
bottling are generous and round, offering caneberry and fresh
strawberry supported by nuanced vanilla and toast character.
A
taste reveals a supple, caressing mouth feel with intense, layered
flavors of black cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and plum. Subtle leafy
earthiness and muted oak character play against food-friendly acidity
and fine-grained tannins to round out the flavor profile. Lovely by
itself, or try with roast fowl, mushroom and chevre pizza, or pasta
with cream sauce. |
