Brick House – Evelyn’s 2014, Pinot Noir – Ribbon Ridge Willamette Valley

The nose is fruity and offers juiciness, a beautiful definition, elegance, density/richness and a beautiful grain. It reveals notes of raspberry, strawberry and small notes of plum associated with fine touches of blackberry, violet, very fine touches of lily, tonka bean as well as discreet hints of cardamom and mild tobacco leaves/vanilla. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers juicy/acidulous frame, density and gourmandize. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of ripe raspberry, fleshy/juicy plum and small notes of strawberry associated with fine touches of caramelization, liquorice as well as hints of cornflower, violet and hints of vanilla. Good length. Tannins are elegant and structuring.
