Lemelson Vineyards Thea's Choice Pinot Noir 2012

From - Carlton Oregon, US
Grape - Pinot Noir
Alcohol - 14%
Available from - The Wine Society thewinesociety.com
Price - £19.50

Appearance - Clear, medium intensity, ruby

Nose - Clean, medium intensity, youthful.  Red fruit (cherries, raspberries), pungent spice (black pepper) Black fruit (blackberry).

Palate - Dry, medium+ acid, medium body, medium intensity, medium+ alcohol, medium tannin.  Red fruit (raspberries, cranberries, cherries), pungent spice (black pepper).  Medium+ length.

My first review from Oregon, and it is a fantastic, smooth, highly satisfying and delicious Pinot Noir. The Wine Society's prices are really good, so you would expect this to be high quality, and it is.  This would match up a wide range of dinners, and also would have the class to impress guests.

Pinot Noir fans, grab one if you can.
