This wine comes from a blend of nine different vineyard sites including four estate vineyards all within the Willamette Valley. The ”Reserve” designation means that it is a barrel selection of our favorite lots as well as being aged longer in the barrels. The final blend consists of seven different clones.
This medium-ruby colored Pinot Noir exhibits sweet ripe aromas of black cherries and currants with some hints of savory Asian spices. On the palate, the wine echoes the same dark fruit flavors with hints of cola berry and pekoe tea leaves. The youthful tannins provide some grip that will surely soften in the short term.
