Description

A very complex rendition of Willamette Valley pinot noir, with juicy finishing acidity, balanced tannins and a hint of oak. Red berry and spice on the nose, with long tannins on the finish. The multiple clones grown in the volcanic soils of the Chehalem Mountains and Eola Hills vineyards bring pleasing complexity.

Winemaker Notes

Plowbuster is a classic Oregon pinot noir, emphasizing volcanic terroir and sustainable farming. Reasonably priced for a great match with your Wednesday night chops on the grill, or a glass at the local bistro. The fruit sources vary with the vintage, but the style is always approachable, soft, aromatic and above all . . . Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

A dark substantial version of Willamette Valley pinot noir, with juicy finishing acidity, balanced tannins and a hint of oak. Earth and spice on the nose and dark berry character rounds out the palate. The multiple clones grown in the volcanic soils of small Chehalem Mountains and Eola Hills vineyards bring pleasing complexity.
