02 Ana Vineyards, Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Ana Reserve

The 02 Ana Reserve is a proud fruit bomb with surprising nuance and an elegant finish that can only come from expert handling of grapes. While the red cherry and cranberry flavors hit me over the head, the lovely balance of light acid and fully integrated tannins makes this wine almost too easy to drink so young. The aroma is equally enticing of lavendar, jammy cherry, and raspberry compote.
