Abbott Claim Vineyard Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton District, USA 2019

A refined, single-vineyard Oregon Pinot Noir from the marine sedimentary soils of Yamhill-Carlton, the 2019 Abbott Claim delivers elegance with quiet power. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and subtle spice lead to a silky, layered palate with bright acidity, fine tannins, and a long, savory finish. Beautifully balanced and expressive of site, this is a polished, terroir-driven Pinot Noir that will appeal to Burgundy lovers and reward both near-term drinking and short-term cellaring.
