Vineyard sits on Willakenzie soils in the heart of the Yamhill Carlton AVA. Ruby red color with aromas of red and black fruits and spice, aged for 10 months in French oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry and raspberry with tobacco, herbs and earthy tones. Full-bodied, fine tannins, balanced, medium finish ending with big earthy spice notes. Nice now! Will age a bit!

Really impressive. Decanted for half an hour and this was ready to go. Relatively bold in style with crushed raspberry, blackberry, and black cherry on top of earth and finely tuned tannins. Personally would’ve liked more restrained oak use but at the end of the day it’s hard to put this down. A delicious Pinot with aging potential.

Light ruby purple color. Fleshy style with generous fruit offering notes of black cherry, plum, tea, and roses supported by fine tannins and good acidity. Sourced from vineyard at 300-500 feet planted to mixture of Pommard and Dijon clones 115 and 777 aged 10 months in 50% new French oak. 13.5% ABV. $60.

Transparent ruby in the glass with red fruit, violets and earthy aromas. Tart red fruit flavored, earth, sweet tea and drying tannins. Nice acidity. Decant and give this wine time in the glass. You will be rewarded. Enjoy with salmon, roasted chicken, pork or veal.

Classic cherry notes. Still young, yet has soft tannins.
