What to Expect

Oregon has only recently emerged as a source for premium wine and is winning fans over to their somewhat earthy style of Pinot Noir. With vineyards a bit cooler than most of California's, yet warmer still than Burgundy, Oregon's Pinot Noirs feature a synthesis of ripe fruit, ripe structure and transparency that draws on the strengths of both. The wines tend to have a touch of earthiness and a sense of transparency that many Pinots from California lack yet the fruit profile, full of dark berries, is decidedly warm-climate in nature.

Winemakers Notes

Tasting Notes:
The aromas are deep and spicy with cherry, spices and a hint of rich vanilla creme. The flavor is mouth filling and extra silky, with a concentrated and succulent finish. Black cherry blends with blueberry-like fruit while retaining a beautifully balanced texture between tannin and fruit sweetness. Look for cedar wood and tamarind spice entwined with rich fruit.

Very light color, with orange tinges. Light strawberry nose. Very light style, very Burgundian. Acidic. Somewhat dusty. Light body. Some black olive notes, and a little juicy.

The aroma is tumescent with blueberry fruit. Blended with this wonderful robust blue fruit one can find Moroccan spices, a hint of butterscotch, and a sense of gravelly earthiness. As the aroma implies and promises, the flavor is concentrated blueberry and blackberry juice, which aids integration of nice spice flavored French oak. The palate is rich, creamy, and super juicy. This whopper of a wine seems to have everything. Rocky earthiness, black forest cake, and a surprise raspberry to red cherry flavor in the long finish. Medium red. Rich cherry, blackberry and chocolate aromas expand in read more...
