A spicy and elegant Pinot Noir that is aged for 16 months in 40% new French oak barrels. 35% whole cluster fermentation help with adding needed structure and tannin to the wine. The nose is floral and spicy, showcasing elements of lavender, rosemary, juniper berries and boysenberry. Flavors of tangerine, huckleberry, dried herbs and a touch of brown mushroom form the backbone of the wine. It is completely balanced on the palate and the tannins, oak and fruit are very integrated and blend beautifully together to create a spectacular Oregon Pinot Noir. Highly recommended. Only 87 cases made.
