Battle Creek Cellars 2013 Unconditional Pinot Noir, Oregon, $16
By Great Northwest Wine on September 19, 2015
Torrential rains in September pushed the harvest for this fruit into the first week in October, yet the Precept Wine brand — established in 1998 — continues to deliver an Oregon Pinot Noir experience at an approachable price. Named for the Seattle company’s 110-acre vineyard in Marion County, the nose of alder smoke, saddle leather and dark red fruit follows up with flavors of red currant and Montmorency cherry. The low-tannin and juicy structure created at their Dundee winery finishes with a hint of saddle leather and oak toast.
