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 2006 estate Pinot is a dark Garnet color with ripe fresh fruit aromas. On the palate it offers ripe Bing cherry, raspberry and black cherry flavors accented by notes of smoke, mocha and earth. The vibrant fined grained texture of the mid palate finishes to the lingering soft ripe fruit and spice.

The 2007 growing season was a bit of a nail biter for Pinot Noir but in the end we couldnt happier with the results. We had a cool wet Spring a cool summer and a couple of scattered rains in late September early October but this turned out to be just what our Pinot vines wanted to produce classic complex Pinot Noir. The 07 is very aromatic with notes of raspberry Bing cherry cranberry and baking spices with hints of rhubarb and mocha. On the palate it is fresh and ripe with more cherry raspberry and spice and subtle notes of earth and mocha that unfolds in layers in the mouth. The finish lingers with flavors read more...
