This wine is Oregon Pinot Noir at its best. Enticing, vibrant, dark ruby-purple in color, it presents ripe pomegranate and cranberry on the palate, laced by an earthy spiciness.

- A fantastic Pinot Noir from a small Oregon winery. As I've recently fallen in love with Oregon Pinots I've been seeking out these smaller wineries and have been really impressed. Four Graces produces a bold Pinot with lots of earthy tones. Their soil is unique because of the volcanic layer that holds water more than other parts of that region. They had some ancient floods that shaped this region of the Willamette Valley. It's no wonder that California Pinot makers are now buying their grapes from Oregon... it's just too hot to make quality pinot in California.

- "...it presents ripe pomegranate and cranberry on the palate, laced by an earthy spiciness. Ageing for over 10 months in French (30% new) has contributed a softness to the mouthfeel without masking the lovely red to black fruit characteristics of premium Dundee Hills Pinot Noirs. The velvet texture, balanced acidity, vibrant freshness, integrated tannins and long, elegant finish are each signatures of this spectacular estate vineyard. The meticulously-maintained Black Family Vineyard is located in Oregons acclaimed Dundee Hills AVA. Pinot Noir was planted in two stages with Pommard read more...and Wadensvill in 1990, and Dijon clones 114, 115 and 777 two years later. Vine age and sustainable farming, combined with average yields of no more than 2 tons per acre, are producing the best fruit to date from this 110-acre property." Winery Notes (hide)
