This stunning value offers a winning aromatic combination of briary blackberries and qualities akin to a savory meat pie made with lamb. Zingy acidity and silky tannins showcase rich flavors of cocoa powder and a jam made of blackcap raspberries and ginger. Sip this wine all by itself, perhaps under the stars.

Winemaker Notes

Ranging from juicy red cherry to blackberry and evolving with exotic spices such as star anise, peppercorn and black tea, the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir displays the true nature of place. In part of fermenting in small vessels, we extract pillowy and refined tannins while preserving the striking acidity of the cool climate, youthful and age worthy Pinot Noir.
