2016 Trisaetum "Estate Reserve" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (Previously $75)

SKU #1498647 94 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Dark red. Suave, spice-accented aromas of raspberry preserves, pungent flowers, incense and cola, along with a hint of smoky minerality that builds with air. Plush and expansive on the palate, offering deeply concentrated red and blue fruit, allspice, vanilla and floral pastille flavors that are given spine by a core of zesty acidity. Shows superb definition and floral lift on a strikingly long, penetrating finish shaped by silky, slow-mounting tannins. (JR) Inner quote mark (6/2019)

93 points Allen Meadows - Burghound

Outer quote mark Cool, pure and notably spicy aromas are comprised by notes of freshly sliced plum, dark cherry, briar and an attractive array of spice elements. The sleek, delicious and velvety medium-bodied flavors possess good if not remarkable concentration while delivering very fine length on the moderately structured and youthfully austere finale. This is a wine that is clearly constructed to age and one that will definitely need at least a few years and should easily reward a decade of cellaring, perhaps even a bit more. Inner quote mark (4/2019)

93 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark The reserve, compiled with grapes from all three estate vineyards, seems to have a higher percentage of new oak, showing plenty of sweet spice in the nose and on the palate. Blueberry and cherry flavors, along with highlights of malted chocolate, gather into a concentrated core. The finish is a long, lingering jaunt with a touch of spice cake. Inner quote mark

93 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark Elegant and precise, with expressive black cherry and orange zest flavors and silky, layered blueberry, black tea and spice notes that gain momentum toward refined tannins. Inner quote mark

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Pinot Noir

- One of France's most legendary grapes and the grape that earned Burgundy its reputation. The parent of varietals like Pinot Gris/Grigio and Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir is blue to violet to indigo in color with relatively thin skins, and it is said to have been cultivated in France for more than 2,000 years. At its best, Pinot Noir creates elegant wines that are filled with primary red fruit aromas and flavors while young, revealing with an array of secondary characteristics like earth, smoke, violet, truffle and game with age. The varietal is also known, perhaps better than any, for its ability to translate terroir, or a sense of place. While the best Pinot Noir still comes from Burgundy, it is being produced with increasing success in cooler climates around the world. In France, it is part of the trifecta of grapes that can go into Champagne, and it is also grown in Alsace, Irancy, Jura, Savoie, Lorraine and Sancerre. Outside of France it is produced under the names Pinot Nero and Blauburgunder in Italy's mountainous regions, as Spätburgunder in Germany and as Blauburgunder in Austria. In the US, Pinot Noir has found suitable growing conditions in the cooler parts of California, including Carneros, the Russian River Valley, the Anderson Valley, the Sonoma Coast, Monterey County, the Santa Lucia Highlands and Santa Barbara County, as well as in Oregon's Willamette Valley. In recent years, New Zealand has demonstrated its ability to interpret this hard-to-grow varietal, with successful bottlings coming from careful and attentive growers in Central Otago, Martinborough and Canterbury. Chile is also an up-and-coming region for Pinot Noir, creating fresh, fruit-forward, early-drinking and affordable Pinots from the coastal Casablanca Valley and the Limari Valley.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

Oregon

- Highly touted for its Pinot Noirs, Oregon is part of the up-and-coming winemaking industry in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Most of Oregon is directly affected by the climate coming off of the Pacific Ocean, giving it mild winters and wet summers. This makes it a difficult place to ripen grapes, but some say that the harder grapes have to struggle, the more complex they will turn out to be. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are two important and successful grapes grown in Oregon.
