Dusky Goose Pinot Noir Fennwood Vineyard

Good

Fully mature, a little riper than other DG bottles I've had.

I probably shouldn't rate this wine. The aromatics were amazing out of the gate but it really took a couple of hours to open up. And who has that kind of time? Can't wait to be more patient with the next bottle. It will definitely be worth it.

The 2015 Fennwood Pinot Noir is unique, as one of the clones included in the blend is the Dijon 943. This clone is limited and rare and adds supple velvety tannins to the palate. The aromatics of this wine have us thinking of summer with dark plums, blackberries and rose petals. On the vibrant palate, there is an elegant entry of sweet Oregon strawberries, followed by the aforementioned supple velvety tannins. AVA yamhill-carlton Winemaker Penner-Ash 243 cases maded
