Robert Brittan's wines just keep getting better and better. The 2011 Basalt is focused and rock solid with towering acidity. This wine needs some time for sure, but with a little air it opens up well. Candied blackberry and cardamom spice make this an Oregon stand out.

Hard to believe this is a 2011 by the way it's tasting. Deep rich texture and flavor. Flowers and dusty red fruit

Raspberry tart, rhubarb, gravel, baking spice. Persistent finish. More Syrah like in flavor, body still light and lithe like Pinot.
