Jory

Gran Moraine

Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2012

Had once before and one to cherish before other bottles. A very high acid wine, especially for the 2012 Oregon vintage. Cut blackberries, black olives, wet oceanic soils, and cherries greet you on the nose. Bright acid of cherries mellow into blueberries and cremè de cassis, finishing long with black cherries, bramble, pepper, and hot Jory soil. — 11 years ago

Raptor Ridge

Atticus Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

An earthier, more acid-driven wine than the 2012 Raptor Ridge Winery Black Hole Vineyard Pinot Noir. Vanilla, clove, pepper, raspberries, and dry Jory soil build the bouquet. Unfolds with less spice than the aforementioned wine, but reveals itself with cherries, currants, dried cranberries, and cassis, flowing into blueberries, chanterelle, truffle and oyster mushrooms, and anise. It finishes with medium length if dried basalt, licorice, and Italian plum. — 11 years ago
