Sun Break 2021 Marie-Paul Reserve Cortell-Rose Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
Editors' Choice
This wine represents the best five barrels of the vintage. Its blackberry-fruit aroma takes a back seat in blackness to a black pepper and resin note that reminded me of India ink. I would be content just to sit and smell this wine. Fortunately, the flavors and texture are just as enticing, with flavors of raspberry and dark plum blending together with lemon drops and a mild banana note that made me hungry for fried plantains.
