Violin - Pinot Noir - Willamette Valley - Oregon - 750 ml

About This Item

Overview:This winery was started by Will Hamilton in 2013 with a focus on Willamette Valley Pinot Noir produced from sourced grapes of five vineyards of friends and growers. The name Violin, is as much a mood as a brand name for Will. He says, "I have chosen a beautiful word that resembles the words 'vino' and "wine." It also includes his son's name, "Olin." The repetition of the 'n' sound is ever-present in the phrase, 'Violin Wine Oregon Pinot Noir.' His goal is to make wine that is long and elegant without hard edges, leaving a lingering feeling of beauty to ponder happily, and wanting to come back for more

Tasting notes: Exuberantly perfumed, the 2019 has exotic and fresh aromatic expression with an edginess that broadens the landscape. A generous spiced component compliments the array of fruits, providing sweetness and depth. The entry showcases the textural roundness of the vintage, which carries the wine toward a refreshing and crisp finish with trademark savoriness and beautiful integration of tannin. As heavy as we like in Pinot noir, we look forward to the slow concentration and complexity that bottle age will reveal.
