Lavinea Tualatin Pinot Noir 2018

Beautiful bright ruby, brilliant and pale at the edge. Evolved and high-pitched aromas of dried cherry, orange peel, mixed red fruits and just-turned earth lifted by a wisp of rose petal hint at what’s to come. A round and pliant entry opens to black cherry cola, bright cranberry, and, with hints of black licorice and iron. Light on its’ feet but no shortage on intensity, this is very well balanced with a seamless and elegant texture and a juicy framework of acidity that carries persistent flavors to a long finish. This 2018 will develop gracefully.
