Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Jolete is a limited-production cuvee blended from three vineyards in the Willamette Valley: 31% Chehalem Mountains AVA, 36% Yamhill-Carlton AVA, and 33% Dundee Hills. Aromatics of candied raspberries and floral rose petal-like scents lead to an entry of pomegranted and red cherry flavors on the palate. Medium weight in body, this fine-textured Pinot Noir transitions into cherry liqueur and red raspberry flavors with a touch of toasted caramel on the finish. Enjoyable now (May 2021) with additional integration and increased nuance developing into 2022 and beyond.
