This wine is sourced from vines grown in the upper part of the Tualitin Estate vineyard where Dijon clones 667 and 777 are utilized. The Pinot Noir was aged 10 months in 60% new French oak prior to bottling. The wine begins with aromas of black truffle, forest floor and red cherry. This leads to flavors of orange rind, pomegranate seed and a lithe minerality. On the lighter side, but represents elegant Oregon Pinot that will be long aged and is nearly impossible not to savor right now. (Best 2015-2026) - December, 2015 (OB)
