Boedecker Cellars Pinot Noir Athena

Description

The 2013 Pinot Noir Athena includes 35% whole cluster grapes and matured for nine months in 40% new oak. [Plus another nine months in neutral barrels.] It has crisp, brambly redcurrant and cranberry-scented bouquet that handles the oak well. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe succulent red berry fruit, fine tannin and a crisp, slightly tarry finish. Overall, this is an excellent 2013 Pinot Noir-great value to boot. Bravo!
