WINEMAKER’S NOTES

The first hint of the concentration of this wine is the incredibly dark color. Stunning nose of Blue Mountain wild roses in June, ripe strawberries, and raspberry reduction. Secondary aromatics reveal blackberries and blueberries over French vanilla ice cream. The palate is plush with bursts of tart red fruit. The wine has fantastic acidity and freshness balanced with a seamless, creamy texture and elegantly long finish. The best Pinot I believe we’ve released in our 10-year history.

Vintage Notes: I am calling this the “Miracle Vintage of 2022.” It featured spring frost and the coolest and wettest spring that the Willamette Valley has experienced in recent years. It lasted well into June! The months of September and October were perfectly gorgeous, helping us to get the crop ripe despite the odds. The acids are amazing in the ‘22 vintage, resulting in a lovely, mouth-watering freshness.
