2013 Eyrie "Estate Grown" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Flexes some tannic muscle on*Cellar Selection* Quite austere when first opened, this drinks best after significant aeration or decanting, which is no surprise with any Eyrie Pinot Noir. Light strawberry and cherry fruit sits stiffly framed with crisp tannins, underscored with ample acidity. There's a well matched herbal component as well. This is at least a 10, if not a 20 year wine. Drink 2020 through 2030. (PG)
