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

Our first "reserve" wine. This is a blend of our five favorite barrels. It's the best wine we've made so far. Unbelievable mouthfeel, upfront black fruit, with a nice minerality, and well-balanced tannins and acidity.

Solid Oregon Pinot ... in fact I think this is better pinot than some of the better known names. Very burgundian in style with silkiness and a nice earthiness with good layers of red fruit.
