Evesham Wood Mahonia Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, USA 2021 Champagne H. Billiot Fils NeverthelessUnderstated in the glass, the 2021 Pinot Noir Mahonia Vineyard slowly opens to reveal depths of lavender and rose, accentuating crushed black raspberries. It rushes the palate with floral laced wild berry fruits guided by cooling acidity. Suggestions of violet pastille linger on as a burst of residual acidity maintains amazing freshness. The 2021 finishes long, perfectly balanced and lightly structured. 93 pts Vinous
