Grapefruit, citrus and lemon grass, with solid minerality. The palate is lively and fresh, with gooseberry, lemon grass, and bright citrus laid overtop hints of tropical and stone fruit on the finish.
This Merlot-based blend is a huge success. It’s a big, tannic, tight wine, packed to bursting with black cherry liqueur, cola and spice flavors. Yet it maintains an exciting balance, with the tension between acids, tannins and oak in equilibrium.
The bouquet shows fine lemon, pear and nuts with some fresh mineral notes. The palate is fresh with generous pear and peach fruit, as well as a hint of quince on a fresh crisp finish.
Distinctly Oregon, yet almost Burgundian in its suppleness and finesse, this Pinot Noir has perfumed red wild forest berries mingled with nuanced blackberry fruit, distinctive soft, ripe tannins and a silky mineral finish.
The wine is approachable in its youth due to its fruit forwardness, but has the density and structure. They made this wine for people like us who want to finish the bottle because it is actually delicious. The wine is fruitful and fresh and is balanced with great structure. A good wine.
