This wine showcases the quality and diversity of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir as it includes grapes from Chehalem Mountain, Eola Hills, McMinnville and Yamhill- Carlton AVAs. This is a versatile wine, which will pair well with a variety of foods. The fruit was gently destemmed, into stainless steel tanks and to 1.25 ton open top fermenters, to ferment as individual vineyard parcels. Once fermentation was complete, the tanks and fermenters were pressed separately and then barrel aged. After aging through July, the lots were blended together to build this complex, enticing wine.

The 2020 Pinot Noir was aged in French oak and has gentle floral notes of roses and red cherry. Medium-bodied, in a clean, easy-drinking style, and offering notes of raspberry, cinnamon, and a hint of turned earth, it is a great value to drink over the next couple of years.

Reduced aromas of tire rubber, pencil eraser and smoke are out front, followed by notes of red fruit and cedar. Fresh, light, lively flavors follow.
