Lytle Barnett Winery Eola-Amity Hills Brut 2018, Willamette Valley, Oregon Light yellow in color with a golden hue. Strong nose of citrus, brioche, lemons, green apples, herbs, light yeast, minerals, spices and sea salt. Medium plus in body with high acidity. Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, tart green apples, minerals, light yeast, sea salt, light earth and herbs. Long finish with limes and lemons. This is a very tasty 7 year old sparkling wine from Oregon. Still young but already enjoyable. The nose is already very pretty, but the palate needs more bottle time. Nicely balanced, engaging and interesting. Fruit forward and complex. Crisp and refreshing. Starting to drink nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime, when the complexity comes in. Not bitter, and good by itself or with food. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Aged on the lees for 5 years. Disgorged in 2024. A small production of less than 3,000 bottles. 12% alcohol by volume. 91 points. $75.
