LucidWild Estate Beast Pinot Noir 2024 Review
Winemaker Isabelle Meunier puts her classic Burgundian training to work at LucidWild, dry-farming a single plot of 27-year-old vines that overlooks Mount Hood in Oregon's Willamette Valley. This wine is deep and rich, with concentrated flavors of blackberry jam, black cherries, and aged balsamic. Vibrant acidity shines through to support the dense core of fruit; the weight and texture on the palate is wonderful.
