This solid bottling comes from their estate vineyard as well as the Tualitin and Elton vineyards. The wine was aged 10 months in 50% new French oak and comes from a host of soils including Jory, Laurelwood and Nekia (shallow and volcanic). This Pinot begins with alargely earthy aromatic profile of forest floor, black truffle, alongside red currant and red raspberry. This leads to flavors of cran-orange, pomegranate, guava and cremini mushroom. The wine is a delight to savor right now, with a lithe minerality and nice range of fruit and terroir driven flavors.
