The soils near BF. Open top fermenters covered to keep away the fruit flies. They named this wine after the grand 59 Burgundy vintage as some say this wine reminds them of that Burgundy vintage. The last vintage from this vines as they will be torn up due to phylloxera in the vines. They say it takes five years for phylloxera to ravage the vine. With treatment, they got 10 years. With Oregon still a relatively young region, I was surprised that it wasn't on American rootstock. Bright lean strawberries, rhubarb, cranberries, cherries, beautiful florals, nice chalk and super soft minerality.

Lovely, light. Big fruit still is great for those that like it, after significant time to open (hours), bright cherry fruit softens to reveal more complex structure.

Sometimes, when you had a long day at work, you just want something that is happy to see you. This gorgeous wine is so perfumey and dynamic on the nose, changing from spicy potpourri one moment to floral the next to fresh, dark cherries to umami and fresh mushrooms. Both rich and powerful yet elegant, cranberries and fresh blackberries gush on the palate, pulling back into pomegranates and dark cocoa, and finally finishing in fresh oyster mushrooms and wet, meadows. Fine powdery tannins and a long acid backbone. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. A gem in the glass.
