The Lazy River Vineyard, a south-facing, perfectly rounded bowl of a vineyard, generally acknowledged to be one of the finest sites in Yamhill-Carlton District.

Aromas a very prevalent with notes of red raspberry, red cherry, strawberry, clove, vanilla, mushroom, sassafrass, cinnamon, dusty rose petals, and rich earthy loam.

Upon first sip there is tart sour cherry, red raspberry, clove, cinnamon, dusty mineral laden soil, rose petals.

Bottle No 0487- the nose keeps changing as I drink it. Starts out earthy, and licorice and turns into dark fruit. Dark fruit in the palate.
