2015 Special Reserve Pinot Noir
Regular price $60.00
Our 2015 Special Reserve bottling was assembled from four select barrels that highlight the richness and power, depth and complexity of the vintage as drawn from several distinct Pinot Noir vineyards we worked with, including Luminous Hills in Yamhill-Carlton and the Bjornson Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. This vintage was characterized by an early start, high enough temperatures to be the warmest vintage to date – although never extreme – with a perfect mid to late September finish. One new French oak barrel along with a balance of successively older barrels (once filled, twice filled and three times filled) round out the bigger and more pronounced tannins of the vintage while maintaining the rich fruit, spice, and texture from a mix of classic and Dijon clones on the diverse and complementary soils of these two vineyard.
