Angela Estate 2012 Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton, $48
South African vintner Antony Beck of Graham Beck Wines collaborates with Ken Wright on this brand named for Beck’s wife, and this is the flagship production from this Dundee, Ore., brand. Wright’s knowledge of Yamhill-Carlton fruit shows with production that draws from Clawson Creek Vineyard for blend of Wädenswil (47%) 42% Dijon 777 (42%) and Dijon 115. The program of 30% new French oak comes across as aromas of clove and toasted black walnut, which are joined by black cherry, roasted meat and crushed herbs. Its structure is assertive yet attractive with flavors of black currant, pomegranate and bittersweet chocolate. That tannin structure should pair nicely with Duck Confit or prime rib.
Rating: Excellent
Production: 2,840 cases
Alcohol: 14%
