More blue fruits and black cherry notes, as well as lots of violets and sappy herbs, emerge from the 2017 Pinot Noir Aprcrypha, a bigger, slightly richer wine than the Memorialis cuvée. With vibrant acidity, fine tannin, and a great finish, it's another beautiful wine from Todd that will evolve beautifully. While falling outside the purview of this report, I’m always able to taste these Oregon releases from winemaker Todd Alexander at my tasting at Force Majeure. These are rich, yet classic Oregon Pinot Noirs that have singular characters. I’m thrilled to be able to include the wines here.
