Medium reddish purple in color. Somewhat restrained nose offering aromas of black cherry, brambly berries, vanilla, and spice. Medium body with black cherry and spice on the palate balanced by fine grained tannins. Blend of Pommard, Dijon 667, and Dijon 777 clones sourced from Atticus Vineyard and spending 11 months in 30% new French. 14.1% ABV. $26.

Exceptional Oregon Pinot from a small boutique producer. Terroir driven and delicately balanced.

Reminded me of Calera wines. Very surprised at this wine. Acid, minerals, cranberry, acid, hints of damp forest, spice... Did I mention acid! Delicious.
