Lonesome Rock The Estate Pinot Noir 2023 Review

Susan and Daniel Klieman met in a French drama and poetry class at the University of South Florida in 1989. From there, a journey and a dream to care for their own vineyard took them across the world, studying winemaking in Burgundy, and ending up in the Willamette Valley.This Pinot Noir incorporates grapes from every block on the family’s high-elevation vineyards — and the result is delicious. The nose opens with aromas of tart cherries, raspberries, aged balsamic, and pepper. The mouthfeel is seamless with medium fruit and bouncy, supportive acidity.
