Roco – The Stalker – Pinot Noir 2014 – Willamette Valley

The nose is aromatic, spicy and offers power. It reveals notes of black cherry, wild blackberry and pepper (black pepper and Cuben pepper) associated with hints of red fruits (wild strawberry…) and woody touches). The palate is fruity, silky, well-balanced and offers a slight minerality, a slight/discreet acid frame, a slight suavity as well as finesse. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, juicy plum and slight touches of black cherry/griotte associated with hints of cassis as well as a subtle hint of cassis, wild strawberry, flowers (in the background), sweet spices and subtle woody touches. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
