Recently rated 92 points by Wine Advocate this Pinot lives up to the hype. Small production (100 cases), the fruit comes from 30 to 40 year old self rooted vines on the family's Century Farm. Winemaker/Vineyard Manager Merrilee Buchanan Benson hits a home run with this delicious Pinot from the great 2012 Willamette Valley vintage.

Fine boned American Pinot Noir. Restrained with a nice bit of spice and just enough "Pinot funk" to keep it interesting. Nicely done.
