Union Wine Co. Underwood Pinot Noir 2015

"This Oregon pinot is a blend of 60 per cent Willamette Valley and 40 per cent Umpqua fruit, in 10 per cent new French oak. The generosity of the Oregon 15 vintage has really smiled on this wine, with a fresh lifted raspberry and strawberry bouquet - enticing. The light to medium-weight colour belies the intensity of the palate, which is elegant, with a melange of crushed chilled red berries with some darker cherry notes. The flavour is persistent and fragrant in the aftertaste, with lovely tannins to close. This might well be the quaffing pinot of the year. Smashes just about any Bourgogne rouge I've had as well as most new-world pinot. Buy now, drink now." - Frank Wilden, The Australian
