PinotFile Review:
VOLUME 8, ISSUE 45 - November 1, 2011
Coats and Whitney Vineyard is a
sustainably farmed, 10-acre site midway between the townships of Carlton and
Yamhill that was established in 2004. There are 7.5 acres planted to Pinot Noir
(75% Pommard and 25% Wädenswil). Soils are quick draining Willakenzie. Second
vintage of this wine. 100% de-stemmed, 5 day cold soak, aged in 25% new French
oak barrels. Moderate reddish-purple robe in the glass.
Welcoming aromas of black cherries, strawberry jam, violets and sweet oak.
Medium-bodied flavors of nicely spiced cherries, raspberries and plums with a
floral note persisting on the finish. Very smooth and charming in the mouth
with well proportioned tannins and overall impeccable balance. Very good. Reviewed November 2, 2011
The Pinot Value Icon signifies a very good or even
exceptional wine that is reasonably priced for the quality.
Tasting Notes:
For our 2008 vintage, we blended our Wadenswil clone with the Pommard clone and have produced a vibrant, well-structured, yet complex wine.

Bright ruby-red. Sexy, fruit-dominated bouquet of raspberry and blackberry preserves, potpourri and Asian spices. Sappy, vaguely jammy dark berry flavors show very good depth and seamless texture, with a hint of smokiness on the back half. Very attractive wine with suave finishing sweetness and very good length. This is delicious right now.
