The Pinot comes from Ribbon Ridge, located roughly six miles from the winery. The Looney Vineyard is from a 19 acre property from Ed and Darlene Looney. This is known for the Willakenzie soil, a marine, loose and gravely soil. Pommard, Wadenswil and Dijon clones 777, 667 and 115 are planted at the vineyard. The wine begins with aromas reminiscent of raspberry and blackberry with mushroom and forest floor on the nose. There are flavors of cran-cherry, Tangerine rind, mushroom, and a long and lingering finish. Lovely minerality, this needs time for the fruit to integrate. (Best 2015-2028) - November, 2015 (OB)
