Tom Eddy Pinot Noir Monk's Gate(2005)

2005 Tom Eddy Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, Oregon Yamhill-Carlton District Monk's Gate Vineyard Bright cherry and cherry blossom aromas, followed by cola, caramel and toasty notes. This wine is an ultimate representation of what true cool climate Pinot Noir can be: Delicate, floral, complex, richly aromatic and perfectly poised on the palate.
