Sipping Fine Wine

Owned by Dr. Angela Summers & Sanjeev Lahoti, both chemical engineers from Houston. Made their first trip to Willamette in 2003, & bought a grass seed farm in Yamhill. Planted first 12 acres of Pinot Noir in ‘07 & 12 more in ‘09. (Pommard) in 2007, & 12 additional acres in 2009. Aged for 18 mos in French oak (38% new), elegant fruit nose with cacao spice. On the palate cherry, dark plum & raspberry flavors with a cedar nutty tone. Soft tannins, lingering ending with slight tangy spice. Very Nice! 450 cases.

This is a wonderful example of the outstanding Pinot Noirs that come from Oregon.
