2018 seems to be a very successful year for Sineann. This is the basic Pinot Noir from one of the top producers of single vineyard Oregon Pinots made from the declassified juices from five different vineyards. Deep ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is deep with sour cherries, hay and slight black pepper. With air a slight minty note emerges. It has a very nice mouthfeel. The abv is listed at 13.4%. Medium tannins. On the palate, black cherry fruit that is ever so slightly jammy at this point. It is delicious. There is some warmth on the finish. This really needs some time to settle and may improve a bit although that said, it makes nice drinking right now. This should peak in about seven to ten years and be good for another ten after that. It drinks great on its own and will work with everything but the lightest foods.
