Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Meunier 2016
Pinot Meunier | Oregon | United States
Most often found in sparkling wines, here the grape is given a chance to show its stuff as a full-blown still red. It's tart and chewy, with chunky fruit flavors of cranberry and cherry. More tannic and darker than its cousin Pinot Noir, this finishes with citrusy acidity.
David Lett planted America’s first commercial Pinot Meunier vines in 1965. This ethereal mix of raspberries, leather & earth is made by his son Jason. Drink from 2022-2040. "A light, herbal and grassy edge to the sliced-strawberry aromas, making for a fresh and attractive nose. The palate has a very attractive, poached-strawberry core. Such glossy, appealing style. Some nectarines too close. Drink now."
