2012 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Regular price $40.00
Other than being an unusually dry summer, the relatively even and slightly above average temperatures in the 2012 vintage were perfect for delivering balanced wines with unusually generous color (for Pinot Noir), abundant richness and remarkable depth. This blend draws upon all five the Willamette Valley vineyards we work with in the Eola-Amity Hills, Yamhill-Carlton District, Chehalem Mountains, Ribbon Ridge and Dundee Hills. The range of soils and the well- matched clones to each of these sites, coupled with traditional winemaking techniques of native yeast fermentation, selective whole cluster fermentation, and minimal additions, all contribute a broad palette of aromas, textures and flavors, spiciness, and layers of complexity.
