Winemaker Notes
A lovely Pinot from a fantastic vintage. Rich raspberry aroma, with black cherry and rose petal notes. The French oak complements the fruit, and the wine has an elegant finish.

This bright pinot has a gamay-like scent, pronounced raspberry flavors and smokiness, like lapsang souchong tea. There’s an interesting tension between the fruit and savory elements, and more complexity than you’d expect to find at the price.

While the Willamette Valley and Pinot Noir are a like a fairy tale match made in heaven, most of Oregon is in fact, a glorious source of Pinot noir. Claiming over half of its total area under vine, Pinot noir also thrives in Southern Oregon’s Umpqua and Rogue Valleys where sedimentary and volcanic soils dominate hillside vineyards and cool temperatures create the perfect environment for Pinot noir. Also, Oregon’s Columbia Gorge is becoming increasingly popular for Pinot noir production. What sets Oregon Pinot noir apart from the Pinot of other regions, both New and Old World, is its innate combination of grace with both power and restraint.
