Earthy, brambley, stemmy wine. Decomposing wood chip mulch, wet leaf litter, the smell of overripe grapes in the vineyard, and the green northwest. Orange rind, cardamom, clove, VA and fermenting berries on the tart finish that lingers. Not perfect by any means but this is wild and beautiful.

Smockshop Band is a side project from Nate Reddy and the Hiyu team intended to showcase all that Columbia Gorge has to offer. Unlike literally everything else from Hiyu, this is a terrific value. It’s a rustic mix of red fruits and perfumed acetone - plenty of VA but the far reaching aromatic type that registers deep like a perfume. Unfiltered, robust, tannic, and full of deep cherry, dried strawberry, and sour blackberry.

Beautiful. Wild Strawberry, herbs, forest, well balanced, some flowers, tart cherry juice. A pretty good Oregon Pinot value.

Deep, intense, intoxicating perfume. Unlike any other domestic pinot. Can’t recommend this enough, even without the attractive qpr.
