LE CADEAU VINEYARD, WILLAMETTE VALLEY, ROCHEUX, PINOT NOIR 2008 (1.5L) Large Format 9% Cabernet Franc and the92 points Wine Enthusiast The Rocheux bottling comes from a vineyard parcel with especially rocky soil, and there is a heightened minerality along with a racy, well defined edge to the wine that the French call nerveux. Its a thrill to taste if you race along with it and if you like a more acidic style, with tart raspberry fruit as your companion. The finish brings in leaf and vanilla, all in context and perfectly balanced. (10 2010) MAGNUMS SHIP IN
