Wine Review: This dark red colored "Reserve" level Pinot Noir from Oregon opens with a potting soil and strawberry bouquet with hints of blackberry and violets. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, slightly smooth, fresh, and bright. The flavor profile is a rich earth, black tea and strawberry blend with notes of black raspberry and oak. I also detected some hints of rhubarb, black pepper, and pomegranate. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and moderate tannins are nicely extended. This Pinot reminded me of a high-level Cru Beaujolais. I would pair it with duck confit. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Pinot Noir thrives in Willamette Valley’s long growing seasons with cool autumn breezes and sunny days. This culmination of extra time on the vine yields aromatics of crunchy dried leaves, pomegranate molasses, black tea leaves, and tart cherries. Earthy undertones and great textured tannins that continue to smooth out with time - adding to the body and longevity.
