2016 Yamhill-Carlton Incline Pinot Noir
Aromatically more high tone than any of our other wines, the Yamhill-Carlton Incline is showing raspberry and rose. The aromatics and palate are very precise, a hallmark of the 2016 vintage due to the steady growing season. The palate has a pie-cherry lively profile with silky and supple tannins. This wine will drink well for the next 8+ years.
